Here's a follow up to my post #364 regarding costs/savings taking the Capital Contributions into account.
I asked each Force about their Capital Contributions to NPAS. The majority claimed that they had no record of any such contributions, so none were paid!
Upon further interrogation, and the evidence of the NPAS Report they confirmed that the contributions were deducted from their annual Home Office grant. So, although they say they are not paying any Capital Contribution, they are as it’s deducted from the Grant.
The others who answered knew that the Contributions were deducted from their Grant, but said they did not know how much they were paying each year, so I let them know how much NPAS said they were paying.
So, if we compare NPAS’s figures for Contributions with what the Forces told me they paid prior to NPAS, they paid a total of £36,087,787 and £33,768,351(including the Capital Contributions) for the year 2013/14.
That reduces the savings down to £2,319,351, and you have Cumbria who were paying £15,870 are now paying £98,889; Lincs who were paying £30,000, now £97,719; GMP £1,742,718/£2,253,080 to name a few. I bet they are really chuffed. As, I suppose, are the 7 Forces who are paying Capital Contributions but aren’t even members of NPAS yet.
