Programme development funds are administered through the Employment Service whose regional boundaries are different from those of TEED. The information for these funds is shown in table 2.
Budgets for 1994–95 and 1995–96 will be the responsibility of the Department of the Environment following the announcement on 4 November of integrated regional offices.
