It is usual that there is significant expenditure from the Vote towards the end of the year and I expect that this will also be the case in 2010. The position in relation to 2010 spending is being monitored closely by my Department, in consultation with local authorities. While it is likely that there will some savings in 2010, it is not possible at this stage to quantify the precise extent of any savings. I do, however, expect that any such amount will be modest relative to the overall provisions.
