Mr. John McCarthy:

We certainly make a payment available. There are two things with staffing in local authorities. One is the sanction for their numbers and the other is how they fund it. On the funding side, we have made two things available to local authorities to support them. They receive a payment for every new HAP case they take on. That is for HAP but there is a separate capacity for local authorities to take on staff and fund them out of the capital programme to support the roll out of the capital programme. It was a particular issue some local authorities felt they were not in a position to deal with.
