I propose to take Questions Nos. 587 and 607 together.

As the Deputy will be aware, the Government agreed to establish an Interdepartmental Group (IDG) to explore how social inclusion schemes might be organised going forward. 

A series of meetings of the IDG have taken place and a number of follow-up meetings were undertaken with the relevant Departments.  There was also a stakeholder consultation process which resulted in a number of submissions that were included in the wider review.  I expect to have the final report over the coming weeks.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
