Recommendation 25
25
Unverified road and premises coverage data makes programme impact difficult to determine.
Conclusion
The Department told us that it does have some numbers on the increased coverage of roads and premises, but that they are unverified and it is not confident in them.48 The Department estimates that, since the start of the programme, coverage on roads has improved by about 11 percentage points. However, the Department told us it is not clear to what extent this increase in road coverage is due to the programme.49
