Carrying forward unspent grant funding into 2021‑22

In addition to ongoing CHSP base funding, this carry-over includes any unspent funding allocated through:

• CHSP Emergency Support for COVID-19 (GO3877)
• CHSP Ad Hoc (GO4265)
• CHSP Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Respite Growth Round (GO4552)
• CHSP Targeted Growth Funding 2020-21 and 2021-22 (GO3632)
