The review of the rural social scheme, covering its first year of operation, has been completed. Arising out of this review, the Government has recently approved a number of changes to the scheme. In this regard, my Department is consulting the Department of Social and Family Affairs on how best to implement some of these changes, in particular changes regarding eligibility criteria and pay arrangements.
