answer text <p>The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) is part of the Department. DIO has discussed the Armed Forces Continuous Attitude Survey (AFCAS) results with Pinnacle, Amey and VIVO. The Department's focus on addressing the root causes of dissatisfaction with the maintenance of Service Family Accommodation began before the AFCAS Survey Questionnaire was distributed to Service Personnel. By the time results were published on 1 June 2023, performance had improved.</p><p>A summary of discussions the Department has had with suppliers regarding performance since the publication of AFCAS cannot be provided, as disclosure would prejudice commercial interests.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Since Rectification Plans were implemented in September 2022, performance has improved for both VIVO and Amey in the key areas of response maintenance timeframes and reducing the backlog of maintenance tasks. However, there is still more work to do before both are consistently at the Acceptable Level of Performance (ALP) across the board, particularly in respect of preparation of homes for Move-in performance.</p><p>Pinnacle are now consistently delivering at or above the minimum ALP in all areas where they have sole responsibility for delivery and are no longer in rectification.</p><p>The Department has set out an expectation that suppliers must demonstrate they can sustain performance at or above the ALP before the Rectification Plans will be considered to have succeeded. The Department has made it very clear that there is still more to achieve before service families are receiving the level of service that they deserve.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department was set a minimum spend for Research and Development (R&amp;D) at Spending Review (SR) 20, totalling £6.6 billion over the four years from financial year (FY) 2021-22. To date, the Department has spent £3.9 billion on R&amp;D (£1.8 billion in FY 2021-22 and £2.1 billion in FY 2022-23. Forecasts for R&amp;D spend meeting the internationally-recognised definition for R&amp;D for the remaining two years are subject to change. However, levels of investment are not expected to reduce from the amounts seen in the first half of this spending review period, meaning the Department will comfortably exceed this SR20 target.</p> more like this
