interest the promised government consultation on the future of Children’s Centre services. We will be keen to understand any new expectations before considering whether a new commissioning framework will need to be developed. As you are aware the current consultation period has now ended. It is our intention to review the responses swiftly and present final proposals to Cabinet in May for implementation in June. Such speed is necessary as we are already into the current financial year and any delay in implementing changes will impact on the budget available for the remainder of financial year 2016/17. I believe the content of this letter responds to the issues you raised in your correspondence on but if you do have further comments you would like make as a result of the information outlined above please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours sincerely Deborah Wallis Strategic Years Officer
