Public Accounts Committee

Vote 34: Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

9:00 am

Mr. John McCarthy:

Going back to the 25% general target, we have written to the local authorities setting a target for them. We have funding available this year so if they need to take on additional resources to reach those targets, funding will be available to them to do so. The intention is that the inspection funding line will increase over the next few years as the level of ambition increases. Depending on what picture emerges from the data matching exercise, we would then engage with each of the local authorities to ensure that they are deploying the additional resources to the priority areas.
