Question:
To ask the Minister for Social Development to list the groups who have benefitted from funding through the Supporting People Programme, each year since 2012 ; and how they are likely to be impacted if funding is cut.
Answer:
The classification of the main groups of people who have benefitted from the Supporting People Programme each year since 2012 is as follows: Learning Disability Homeless Mental Health Older People (including with Mental Health Problems / Dementia) Domestic Violence Young People at Risk People with addictions including alcohol problems Criminal Justice, Offenders or People at risk of Offending Physical Impairment Multiple / Complex Needs Ethnic Minorities It is difficult to comment in view of the number and variety of Supporting People services what would happen if the level of Supporting People funding were to be reduced and not replaced by funding from other sources but at present there are no plans to reduce funding from current levels.
