ALG Grants Review: Commissioning Discussion Document 03/05/2005
From an initial review of responses, one of the areas provoking most comments in the Review Board’s recommendations is around how the ALG might commission organisations and their services. Although no decision will be made on this recommendation until the July Leaders' Committee, the ALG has set out its initial thinking at the request of the voluntary and community sector. If ALG does decide to adopt commissioning more widely, a detailed consultation paper on possible approaches will be produced. We hope that our initial thoughts will help the voluntary and community sector to prepare for any future discussions should a commissioning-type approach be adopted. The ALG would welcome your comments on the discussion document. Read more here.
