In November 2009 the House of Commons Communities and Local Government Select Committee published its report on the Supporting People Programme. The Committee looked at the extent to which the Government has delivered on the commitments it made in Independence and Opportunity: Our Strategy for Supporting People, and the implications of the removal of the ringfence to see what needs to be done to ensure that the successes of the programme are not lost. The Committee’s report endorsed the Government’s decision to remove the ringfence in order to devolve decision making and control over budgets to the local level, and also acknowledged the success of the Supporting People programme in ‘investing to save’ money. This report provides the Government’s response to the Committee’s report. It lists the various recommendations made in the report followed by the Government’s response broken down into the following areas: keeping people at the heart of the programme; enhancing partnership with the third sector; delivering in the new local government landscape; increasing efficiency and reducing bureaucracy; sheltered housing; Supporting People distribution formula; and the ringfence.
