<p>Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) has submitted a request to the department
for innovation funding, separate to the Innovation Programme bidding process. Their
proposals are part of discussions linked to their Devolution Deal and the commitment
they made to a full review of their children’s services across the ten local authorities.
Minsters will make a decision based on the potential for improved outcomes for children,
value for money, and genuine innovation. GMCA will be informed of the minister’s decision
in due course.</p><p> </p>
