Prime Minister Andrew Holness has indicated that further re-allocation may be needed in the budget in order to respond to the needs of persons adversely affected by recent heavy rains.

He was speaking yesterday at the handing over of tablets to students of Seaward Primary and Junior High school in Kingston, yesterday (November 4).

Mr. Holness said another assessment will be done by next week.

He said the Government has already provided some assistance to affected citizens, through the Labour and Agriculture ministries.
