Cabinet NOTED the outputs and achievements of the UKSPF programme for the financial year 2023/24.

Reasons for Recommendations:

To ensure Cabinet maintain effective oversight of delivery and progress, against the aspirations set out in the Investment Plan approved by government in 2022.

It should be noted that financial year 23/24 will be the first full year of USKPF activity due to the first year (22/23) being condensed into the second because of national delays at the start of the programme.
