I thank the Minister of State on whom I can always rely for a straight answer to a straight question when he attends the House. I thank him for his reply notwithstanding that I am disappointed. I take his point when he says that there was a specific time for the project, but when something is working everything that can be done should be done to ensure that it continues. On that, what is the nature of the evaluation taking place? All 14 projects are delivering very different models of support to very different groups of people all over the country. Will there be a qualitative aspect as well as a quantitative analysis?

How will the Department identify what is deemed to be successful? What will be measured?
