Quite apart from the pressing questions around the timescale and implementation of the new Work Programme, PEP, CTF and FND there are other pressing issues;
- How will centrally contracted welfare services be reconciled with decentralisation and localism?
- What role will local authorities play,
- What is the future of the Working Neighbourhood Fund,
- Will there be more opportunities for the voluntary and community sector in supporting unemployed people?
- Will employment and skills be integrated ?
- How will Total Place be used to integrate funding for the most disadvantaged?
