I am also thinking of current schemes I know where there was a shortfall in funding or where there were difficulties for a variety of reasons. I refer to them continuing their work with young people within early childhood care where it is difficult to do so. There was an issue around some of the family resource centres where some of the newer ones were on a different scale of funding. I was also thinking of this question in respect of those, where shortfalls were preventing the work and then another fund is found. That is to do very valuable work and I do not take from that at all but the ones that are there and are in difficulties also need to be supported.
