- when were they appointed?
- who are they, what was the selection process, and how much are they being paid?
- what is the timeline to which they are working, including draft reports, di scussions with the reviewed department, second drafts, etc, and up to final re ports?
Answer
Of the 6 major reviews identified under CSR, 5 are now underway. The Social Security review will be undertaken alongside the main Income Support review later this year.
(a)+(b) In depe ndent Reviewers have been appointed to chair, and participate in, the Steering Groups of
the 5 reviews underway. I advertised for people to come forward who wished to contribute to the CSR and I am delighted that 7 people are now involved with 5 chairing their respective Steering Groups. Professional advisers have also been appointed for 4 of the reviews to deliver detailed terms of reference specific to each review.
(c)+(d) The Independent Reviewers were appointed in late May/June. The details of the professional advisers
are as follows:
Major Review | Who Is Doing It | Commenced | Cost |
Education Sport and Culture | Tribal | July 2010 | £29,850 |
Home Affairs & Court & Case Costs | Tribal / TQMI | June 2010 | £79.600 |
Terms & Conditions | Tribal | June 2010 | £48,755 |
In addition to these costs, there is a standard £180 day rate for expenses. Each project was tendered for separately.
(e) The advisers' reports have been, or are being, finalised and presented to the relevant Steering Group. Those groups are now drafting their own reports with their findings to be discussed at political boards set up on 21st September. These outcomes will be discussed in relation to the CSR Part 2 process looking at savings in 2012 and 2013.
The Council of Ministers will publish details of its conclusion at the same time as the budget is lodged on 26th October 2010.
