Mr. Jim Lennon:

The answer is probably "Yes". I am qualifying it because the anecdotal evidence we are getting from parents and other professionals is that they would like to see the programme expanded.

Then there is the more detailed issue. The Chair referred to the landscape review. The planning in which both Departments are now engaging with the board and ourselves will probably put that into a much more operational phase. As for the timescale, we are finalising this year next year's business plan. Our business-plan year runs from 1 April to 31 March. I am not realistically predicting that there would be any significant expansion next year. It really takes time to plan and get a run-in so that this is done effectively.
