This parliamentary question should have been addressed to me in my role as the Minister for Rural, Community Development and the Islands.

Indecon International Economic Consultants were commissioned by the then Department of Rural and Community Development to carry out an independent review of the Community Services Programme. I am advised that the final report was received in February last and will be published following full consideration by the Department of the recommendations outlined in the report.
