Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when we introduced this program, which is a joint initiative of the Department of Health and Social Services and the Department of Education, Culture and Employment, we agreed that we would concentrate on initiatives for children. It was intended as an Early Intervention Program. That is how we first phrased it, an Early Intervention Program. It is specifically targeted at children at risk to try to improve their chances of success in life. As far as I am aware, there has been no change in the focus in the program. The program is coming close to its first anniversary of operation. We have set up a mechanism under which we will assess how the program is working during the second year of operation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
