Recommendations:
That the Programme Board approves:
(i) £102,000 to enable all 39 placements in London due to start in September 2009 to be funded;
(ii) £99,000 contingency funding for each of 2010/11 and 2011/12 to be used if demand from London authorities exceeds the level of funding available nationally. Based on current costs this would cover 11 places in each year.
