Mr. Graham Doyle:

It is, within the bounds of what will be available to us in terms of the national development plan, NDP, which is being reviewed at the moment. Our hope as a Department is to increase the capital spend to deliver more homes into the system and to rebalance that spend over time versus current spending levels. As we work over the coming weeks on developing the Housing for All strategy and work with the NDP review, there will be a greater focus on the capital elements. The programme for Government commits to reducing our reliance on the use of HAP for new social housing as the supply of social and public housing increases over that time. It will be a central element of Housing for All but there is a large quantity of homes to be provided and the level of capital we are talking about is very substantial, as the Deputy will be aware.
