The following table details the additional places that have been allocated since January 2013 either to specific Community Employment (CE) schemes within each county, or to the DSP Divisional Manager for allocation within their division. The places were divided into the main dedicated placement types of child care-related, health care-related, drugs schemes and Other (i.e. general CE). If an additional supervisor was requested this was also recorded separately. Innovatory projects were also distinguished by Supervisor and participant places allocated. The overall number of places allocated to divisions to date is 1,767. The remainder of the budgeted 2,000 additional places (233) will be utilised to back-fill places vacated under the re-organisation of childcare provision on CE into fully dedicated childcare schemes.
