The table below sets out the amount of funding allocated by my Department each year since the introduction of the Lead Remediation Grant in 2016. It also shows the number of households that have benefited from the grant and the amount of funding recouped by my Department to local authorities each year. The Lead Remediation Grant is a demand-led scheme.
