I am wondering if it is an exact figure or anecdotal. Also, reference was made to the aim of rolling out the programme across the country. What cost are we talking about? I will put all my questions together. On the workings of the programme, is this a case in which a young person or whoever is in court and the judge recommends that they do this course? Might they do this course if they are in prison as a result of a road offence, or is it for people who do not have to serve a sentence?
