I can see a scenario where we do not get the outcome. The Department allocates the money but because it is inadequate, local authorities do not have a source to match the funding if they are going to be out by a very sizeable amount, and we do not actually get delivery on the allocation. From a value-for-money perspective, the Department might as well not provide the money if the money is not available to actually do the job. Will the Department conduct a review of that funding?
