I propose to take Questions Nos. 322 and 330 together.
As I have previously indicated, my view is that a focused programme with a single integrated delivery structure is needed to maximise the impact of the local development programme and the community development programme, which serve disadvantaged communities. My overall aim is to ensure that, from 2010, having regard to the budgetary position, disadvantaged communities will benefit from a more focused programme with clear objectives, simplified and streamlined delivery structures and better-integrated actions, leading to significant administrative savings. The Department is undertaking a review of the community development programme. I expect shortly to have a full report on its findings and recommendations. I would reasonably expect the majority of projects to be endorsed by the review and to move into the new integrated programme. The intention is to preserve elements of best practice from the existing community development programme and local development social inclusion programmes in the redesigned model, to minimise structures and to enhance benefits for individuals and communities through significant administrative and overhead savings. Clearly, these developments are taking place at a time of extreme budgetary difficulties, the full extent of which will not be known until budget day. As regards the recommendations of the special group on public service numbers and expenditure programmes, these are being considered by Government and no decisions have been made as yet.
