Adoption:
Governments Baby Sale
Tim Loughton (Shadow minister
for Children):
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families which local
authorities have received payments from central Government for achieving
adoption target levels; and how much each received in each of the last three
years. [151067]
John Healey:
I have been asked to reply.
30 local authorities have been
rewarded for successfully achieving adoption targets in their local public
service agreements (LPSA). The better outcomes and amount of ‘performance
reward grant’ (PRG) each has received over the three years 2004/05 to
2006/07 in relation to their performance in these targets is set out in the
following table. In addition, 13 local authorities did not achieve the
adoption targets in their local PSA and hence received no PRG for this
target. One local authority is still to make a claim
Local PSAs—which are negotiated
between local authorities and central Government policy departments,
facilitated by the DCLG—have helped to incentivise local authorities and
partners to provide better public services to their citizens around
priorities for improvement locally. Evaluation shows they have been
successful in doing this, with real benefits in improved outcomes for local
people and communities.
