It is unlikely that any additional rural social scheme (RSS) placements will become available in the short-term. However, my Department is keeping the matter under review and, if placements arise from unused allocations elsewhere in the country, opportunities will be afforded to all concerned Implementing Bodies to expand their existing quotas in due course.
