The PSFA exceeded its target of achieving £180 million of savings in its first 12 months by preventing and recovering £311 million of audited savings.</p><p>The PSFA CEO works with the PSFA data and analytics delivery teams and Ministers to set the PSFA delivery target on an annual basis. The PSFA’s second year target is to deliver £185m of savings and will report performance against it when the independent audit of savings is complete. The PSFA is working with Ministers to set a financial target for its third year as part of routine business planning.</p><p>As the centre of the Government Counter Fraud Function (GCFF), the PSFA also requires, and supports departments to set financial impact targets for their counter fraud work and progress against this is published in the annual Fraud landscape Reports.</p><p>Government policy is that setting targets not only improves the transparency of counter fraud spending, but also ensures that we deliver a serious message to fraudsters that the government is making a concerted effort to tackle their ever-evolving crimes.</p><p><strong></strong><br><br></p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 29/04/2024 13:55:16 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2023 answer text <p>This Government is committed to protecting citizens and public services from the ever-evolving cyber threat.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>As set out in the 2023 National Risk Register, cyber attacks on the UK’s transport, health and social care, and telecommunications systems were identified amongst the most serious risks currently facing the UK. In addition, in this year’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) Annual Review, data theft - either through ransomware or the exploitation of vulnerabilities in public-facing apps - and cyber-enabled fraud remain some of the most acute cyber threats facing UK businesses and citizens. For example, between September 2022 and August 2023, the NCSC received 297 reports of ransomware activity and 327 incidents involving the exfiltration of data.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government takes data protection very seriously and we understand that data breaches are a matter of great concern to those whose data may have been exposed in a cyber attack. It is the responsibility of organisations affected to meet their statutory obligations under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regarding notifying the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and the individuals affected of certain personal data breaches.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>It would not be appropriate to comment on specific cyber incidents for national security reasons. However, the Government has already taken significant steps to reduce the risks identified and to strengthen our cyber defences.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government Cyber Security Strategy 2022 sets out our plans to significantly harden the Government’s critical functions against cyber attack by 2025, with all organisations across the public sector being resilient to known vulnerabilities by 2030. Alongside this, the National Cyber Strategy 2022 sets out our approach to tackling cyber threats against the wider population, including by better detecting, disrupting and deterring malicious cyber actors and embedding good cyber security practices and protections at national, organisation and citizen level.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 11/12/2023 17:40:12 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

The OBR is required by law to provide an assessment of the accuracy of previous fiscal and economic forecasts at least once each financial year. The most recent OBR Forecast Evaluation Report (FER) was published in January 2023. It examined how the OBR’s March 2021 forecast for 2021-22 compared to subsequent outturn data and identified lessons for future forecasts. The OBR also published a report called “The OBR’s forecast performance” in August 2023 which reviewed its forecast performance since its establishment in 2010.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 11/09/2023 09:26:52 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

The fund will work to address an identified funding gap, offering a range of commercial finance options with loans from £25,000 to £2 million and equity investment of up to £5 million.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 03/07/2023 13:16:34 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
