I expect to receive the report of the review of the rural social scheme in the near future. The review will give consideration, inter alia, to whether eligibility criteria should be broadened, narrowed or adjusted, specifying the relevant groups and the basis for any such proposals being made. Upon receipt of the report I will consider carefully any recommendations arising.
