Fixation on NRF Sample Clauses

Fixation on NRF. 5.1.4.1 We believe that the evidence we have heard and collected around the way in which NRF both dominates partnership discussions and is invariably the only additional source of funding available, will prove to be the most telling contribution we can make. We believe there is almost a sense of denial that NRF will end in March 2008 and little thought if any is being given to what happens after that date to the important community initiatives which are involved. Even the new BSP Director, we are told, is at this stage, NRF funded. 5.1.4.2 We were struck in evidence given by how much depended on NRF. It often appeared, no doubt unfairly, that the sole interest of people around the table was to access NRF at the expense of other issues. 5.1.4.3 Too many discussions focus on the use of NRF monies which are new monies, not coming out of existing budgets. In many cases this focus on who can get hold of NRF to do what is proving a distraction from looking at service improvement issues and better ways of working. This excessive focus on NRF is getting in the way of genuine partnership working. 5.1.4.4 We know that NRF is due to end in March 2008. It is not sensible to wait until then to take decisions around funding of the many projects which are currently funded through NRF. We need to address this issue now. We need to look at what projects are currently being funded through NRF and think about how they will be mainstreamed in order to avoid panic next year. 5.1.4.5 Examples were repeatedly sought of where there was recognition that NRF funded projects were effective and steps were taken to mainstream the activity but we struggled to find examples of best practice being mainstreamed. This requires partner agencies to agree that service provision in one area should cease and resources be diverted to other priorities. There needs to be a willingness on the part of partner organisations to divert resources to address local priorities. This will be essential to enable NRF funded projects which are recognised as delivering effective outcomes locally, to be sustained once NRF funding ceases. 5.1.4.6 Two examples were given, though these we felt were still stretching our basic point somewhat. • Xxxx Xxxxxxxx the Male Life Expectancy Lead from the Birmingham Health and Wellbeing Partnership did give an example a change to mainstream practices of where the midwives were relocated from GP surgeries to Children’s Centres: • An example of the Pensions Office moving staff ...
