The Robson Rhodes independent review of the Supporting People programme

Author: Eugene Sullivan
Date: 12 Feb 2004
Organisation: Robson Rhodes

Abstract: In October 2003, the Office for the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) and Her Majesty's Treasury (HMT) commissioned RSM Robson Rhodes LLP to conduct an independent review of the Supporting People (SP) Programme. The report addresses a number of major issues around the value for money of the legacy provision; the appropriateness of SP funding certain client groups, at certain levels; the question of future allocations and distribution of SP grant; future capital and revenue growth; and a range of governance and management arrangements. It does not deal directly with issues of service quality.
