	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2017 answer text <p>DCMS has been working closely with NCS Trust to reduce the risk of funds being spent on unfilled places. This year DCMS introduced a KPI on the number of unfilled places in the NCS Trust’s performance management framework. In 2017 we also worked with the Trust to improve the accuracy of target-setting and commissioning which means that the number of places commissioned is better matched to actual demand. In 2016 NCS Trust also carried out an independent, external audit to identify funds that could be recovered.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 21/12/2017 11:14:40 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
