Legacy programmes 2011/13

The EM IEP have created a legacy programme budget of c£3.4m from under spending on both the EM IEP regional and SRP's 2008/11 work programmes, plus repayments due on previous invest to save projects. The investment into the programmes will be targeted at efficiency saving activities in the areas of care services, procurement, business transformation and replicable projects/products that have a proven track record in the East Midlands and elsewhere.

With the future performance management emphasis agreed between government and the LG group, now concerned with the offer of sector led improvement, provision for sector led improvement has also been built into the 2011/13 programme.

Cllr Hill, Chair of the EM IEP Board, has sent a letter to all Chief Executives outlining how they can access the offers and support available through the regional programmes.
