Answer
I am considering the recommendations from the Independent Review Panel for changes to Discretionary Support. These will be assessed in the climate of financial constraint, with the requirement to ensure that budgets remain sustainable over the coming years.
The Committee for Communities will be notified of any proposed amendments in due course.
