Options to reduce levels of

Housing Support providedto people to or towardslevels of provision made

prior to Supporting Peoplefunded services beingdeveloped - phase-in with

potential for further £500,000 in both 2012/13and 2013/14. This is not

an option to items SWK04,SWK08 as this is aboutreducing service levels

(either directly throughstraight forward reductionsin service levels or through

service reconfigurationaround sharing previouslysingle client resources)whereas those other options are about reducing

the costs through other means - negotiation or tendering
