Changes to the National CSIP programme

CSIP will become a partnership of four national improvement programmes - the Social Care Programmes, NIHME, Children and Families, and Health Offender Partnerships - delivered regionally through eight RDCs. National co-ordination will be supported by a small central team - the national support office.

The national support office will take on a coordinating role in 2008/09 for DH funded commissions, although there will be maximum devolution of funds to individual RDCs to help implement social care policy and the objectives of the DH regional presence programme.
