</p><p>The Troubled Families team, based in DCLG, was established in 2011 to join
up efforts across the whole of government and to provide expert help to local authorities
to drive forward the programme of turning around the lives of troubled families. Government
data collected in 2011 estimated that £9 billion is spent annually on troubled families
– an average of £75,000 per family each year. Of this, an estimated £8 billion is
spent reacting to the problems these families have and cause with just £1 billion
being spent on helping families to solve and prevent problems in the longer term.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>As of the end of June 2014, my Department had the following
number of officials working on Troubled Families programme: 4 Executive Officers (and
equivalents); 3 Higher Executive Officers; 7 Senior Executive Officers, 3 Grade 7,
5 Grade 6, 2 Deputy Directors, 1 Director and 1 Director General.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>The latter two senior salaries are published as part of our transparency agenda,
and are respectively (a) within the range of £110,000 - £114,999 and (b) within the
range of £130,000 to £134,999.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>More generally, Civil
Servants are paid within a grade pay scale. These ranges are Executive Officer (£22,279
to £31,225); Higher Executive Officer (£26,058 to £39,513); Senior Executive Officer
(£32,311 to £45,985); Grade 7 (£40,852 to £57,110); Grade 6 (£50,203 to £70,375) and
