<p>I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Home Office. Integrated Offender Management
is an important approach to cutting crime and reoffending in local areas. One of the
key strengths of the approach is that the local model should be responsive to local
needs and priorities as identified by the agencies and the partners in the area. For
this reason, we have not imposed any particular model of Integrated Offender Management
on areas, nor do we performance manage from Whitehall the crime and reoffending outcomes
that local partners in areas such as the London Borough of Islington may be achieving
through their local approach.</p>
