This is under non-budgetary funding, so these are loans and advances that are made to these groups. The non-budgetary total was correct in total, but we had mis

Human Resources committee  The amount that now figures in our main estimates is, as the minister stated, the base funding for the current situation. The conclusions of the task force will determine what we need to do in the years that lie ahead. So that is not reflected in the budget as such.

Human Resources committee  You referred to agreements that are expiring.
