<p>The Government is committed to ensuring that victims of crime have access to a
broad range of support services, to help them cope with and, as far as possible, recover
from the effects of crime.</p><p> </p><p>We are spending an estimated £96m this year
to fund support services for victims of crime through a mix of local and nationally
commissioned services. From this budget, we have again allocated Police and Crime
Commissioners around £68m to locally commission emotional and practical support services
for victims of crime.</p><p> </p><p>As part of our victims strategy, due to be published
in summer, we are developing a new delivery model for support services. We will consider
options for further devolution as part of this work.</p>
