Business Case
There is to be a review of Assumptions – led by Finance Working Group
Bottom Line more important than principles and discussion
Current operating costs being requested through Finance Working Group
Needs to take account of costs of “out-of-scope” and “in-scope, in-FRS”, I.e. costs that will remain with FRS after cutover
Benefits management – ongoing cost reporting (again through FFWG)

Implementation Funding New burdens process gradually being understood – not a bid or a claims
process, but CLG submits estimates
Some finance has been confirmed in Circulars
Some held back “depending on Checkpoint 1 and Resource Plan”
May shortly have to do rapid response on 3-year budget needs
Grant structure all altered – future funding may be RSG (resisted by FFWG as not flowing), or ring-fenced, or passed to Region to disburse to FRSs

Transition Planning Transition plans being developed;
Transition Governance letter from Peter Betts requesting CFOs to sign off prioritisation of FiReControl and readiness of internal FRS project structures

Major risks: data/IT systems; Convergence (information from EADS/CLG delayed)
EADS:
Not where they would wish to be, but confident in achieving Oct 09 cutover
