The Deputy will be aware that my Department has put in place the overall PPP investment framework, including the framework for the appraisal, assessment, procurement and evaluation of projects. Individual Departments are responsible for the projects and programme in their areas, within that overall framework. The extent to which current market developments affect PPPs is a matter for each Department suitably advised by the National Development Finance Agency, who are monitoring the situation.
