No schemes are specifically under review by my Department at present with the objective of imposing reductions in budget 2010. However, the Special Group on Public Service Numbers and Expenditure Programmes is expected to examine the full range of social welfare services schemes and services. The group's recommendations will be considered by the Government in the context of budget 2010.
