§ Lord Falconer of ThorotonThe Government Office for the West Midlands has funded this project in order to provide the potential for seamless throughcare and action planning from the point of arrest through to resettlement. The project has been awarded funding under the Partnership Development Fund of some £238,000 up until the end of 2002–03. Feedback so far from the scheme has been encouraging, Funding beyond 2002–03 will depend on availability of funding following decisions on the Spending Review.
