15 Ms O. Mitchell asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the work that has been undertaken on improving the integration and co-ordination of service delivery of the RAPID programme; the way in which this initiative is expected to progress into the future; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16663/04]
View answerService integration is a key component of the RAPID programme and is being used across a range of RAPID areas as a method to improve the quality and effectiveness of the services they provide. The RAPID programme has built on the experiences of the integrated services process, ISP, by promoting the need for more service integration work. Reports from SIM groups include examples of service integration projects in RAPID areas and can be found at www.adm.ie. Work on service integration is ongoing and will continue into the future.
