In fairness, we have looked at reducing the co-financing rate to 10% for the Border and western regional area. We have reduced that for local authorities to try to encourage and help in an area that, to be fair, is not doing as well as some of the other areas across the country.
I think I have covered all of the questions that I was asked. I take the point made about water. I wanted it to be extended to people that have wells. I assure members that there are a lot of costs to operating a private well. There are treatments and all sorts of things you have to do.
I will hand over to the Minister of State, who will talk about the community services programme, CSP.
