<p>Under the current model by which the Ministry of Justice provides funding for victims’ services, funding is not directly or specifically given to, or allocated by police force area.</p><p>The majority of Ministry of Justice funding for provision of victims and witness services since 2009-10 has been provided via a grant to Victim Support (£38.25 million in 2013-14). Under this model, support for victims in local areas is provided based on numbers of police and self referrals received, and the number and types of positive needs identified with victims on an individual basis. This grant also funds provision of the national Homicide Service, and the court based witness service.</p><p>In addition, MOJ provides funding for a number of other organisations which support victims across different localities. This funding has been allocated to organisations based on identified needs rather than allocations by police force area.</p><p>From 2014-15 onwards more money than ever before will be available for victims’ services, with a potential future total budget of up to £100 million per year.</p><p>We are yet to finalise our 2014-15 allocations however our current forecast shows at least £75 million of funding of which £45,750 is to be spent on nationally commissioned support provision and £29,250 is to be allocated between PCCs. In 2014-15 PCCs will commission victim-led restorative justice and starting from 1 October 2014 they will also commission the majority of services for victims and witnesses. Our indicative budgets and percentage allocation for PCCs are shown in the following table:</p><p><table><thead><tr><td valign="top">Policeforceareas<br /></td><td
