QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Economic Audit Committee Final Report Recommendation (13), ‘Replace the existing Funding and Purchasing Community Services Policy, with a new ‘Collaboration for Community’ policy that:
(a) clearly articulates the distinction between grants and service agreements;
(b) outlines a range of different contractual and funding relationships including individualised funding delivery and low interest community loans; and
(c) provides guidance to Agencies and community sector organisations on the application and management of these different contractual and funding relationships.’
and I ask -
(1) What impact will the replacement of the existing Funding and Purchasing Community Services Policy with a new ‘Collaboration for Community’ policy have on community service groups who currently receive funding?
(2) Can these community service groups expect to receive less funding under the new ‘Collaboration for Community’ policy?
(3) Will the community service groups who currently receive funding, either by way of grants or service agreements, be expected to obtain that funding in the future via low interest community loans?
(4) If yes to (3), what will the situation be if a community service group does not wish to, or is not in a position to, obtain funding via a low interest community loan?
(5) Who will be responsible for providing guidance to Agencies and community sector organisations on the application and management of these different contractual and funding relationships?
(6) How will the range of different contractual and funding relationships differ from what is already in place?
(7) When will the taskforce reporting to the Partnership Forum be established?
(8) Who will decide the membership of the taskforce?
(9) Have any appointments already been made to the taskforce and if so, who are they?
(10) How will savings be achieved by replacing the existing Funding and Purchasing Community Services Policy, with a new ‘Collaboration for Community’ policy?
(11) What is the total expected savings to Government on an annual basis from recommendation number 13 of the Economic Audit Committee?
