Text

Deputy First Minister, I appreciate your answer. There is a real fear about hidden harm, especially in rural and semi-rural communities. You mentioned the planned interventions, but can there be an evaluation of whether an extension to the existing programmes, such as Urban Villages and Communities in Transition, would prevent those rural and semi-rural communities from being left behind?
