Answer
LPS has initially identified a small team of staff based mainly in the North West to resource the Localised Restrictions Support Scheme focused in that area. This team worked extensively on the Small Business Grant Scheme and is therefore experienced in the kind of work required to deliver the Localised Restrictions Support Scheme.
LPS and the wider Department of Finance will redeploy staff from other areas of work to scale up the number of staff working on the scheme to deal with any extension of scope, if required.
