The Cabinet Office has worked with MyCSP to implement recovery plans aimed at enhancing performance within their Enquiry Centre. In response to increased demands, MyCSP has recruited additional staff, and the Cabinet Office is funding 12 full-time equivalents (FTEs) in the Enquiry Centre specifically to address volumes associated with the 2015 Remedy (McCloud judgement) queries.

The Cabinet Office is continuing to stress to MyCSP the importance of meeting contractual performance levels and improving member experience.
