CLG and DoH to work with Compact Voice through climate of spending cuts

Finance | Vibeka Mair | 6 Jul 2010

The Department of Health (DoH) and the Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) have pledged to work with Compact Voice to ensure they follow Compact principles when making cuts or changes to funding application processes.

CLG have committed to working alongside Compact Voice, the Office for Civil Society, and the Local Government Association to support the sharing of good practice, encourage discussion, and support the continued application of the principles of the Compact during any changes to spending agreements.

Compact Voice has also worked with the DoH in exploring new ways to promote changes to their grant application processes, which have been affected by the recent election.

Tom Elkins (pictured), manager of Compact Voice said:

“That both the Department for Communities and Local Government and the Department of Health recognise the importance of the Compact at this difficult time is welcome. By following the Compact they will be able to ensure the right decisions are taken and minimise the negative impact of the cuts, and we would encourage other departments to follow their example.”
