HC Deb 02 July 1987 vol 118 c148W
Mr. Squire

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what arrangements the Government are making to monitor the operation of the social fund.

Mr. Scott

Responsibility for monitoring the quality of individual decisions will rest in the first instance with local office management assisted by specialist regional teams. The fund will also be monitored at all levels of management on the basis of extensive statistical evidence, which it is planned to gather through the social fund microcomputer system.
