Agenda item

The Chair invited Nick Collins to introduce the update.

Nick said that the paper summarised the huge amount of work going on in FRS’s, coordinated nationally by the NFCC. The approach of the NFCC was to try and solve problems nationally rather than have each individual service coming up with their own solution piecemeal and he requested members’ support in this. He reported that the NFCC had received uplift funding from the Home Office this year for the first time and was keen to see this continue. Finally, Nick highlighted the Fit for the Future programme which was about to go out for wide consultation.

The Chair thanked Nick and the NFCC for their work and all Central Programme Office colleagues who had contributed.
