OK, and the final thing; I know I threw so many questions at you, but will the targeted offer be distributed to small groups with multiple needs?

I have a couple of specific questions; maybe I will cover them all together. First of all, is it just going to be for two years and will you ensure that the additional money will go to those schemes, many of which are working very successfully, rather than try to reinvent the wheel with trying to identify other schemes?

Thank you. My concern is that your response is also filled with words like `initiatives' and `best practice.'
