Under the current round of the Value for Money and Policy Review Initiative for the period 2006 to 2008, my Department is committed to carrying out a VFM review of the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund. The Department has recently commenced a review of the operation of the Horse and Greyhound Fund in the context of the limit for the Fund set by Government in 2004 being reached shortly. This review will be an integral part of the VFM review of the Fund which is scheduled to commence this year.
