Victim Support Schemes: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps his Department plans to take to ensure the provision of adequate levels of funding for victim support services.
Answered by Catherine Atkinson
My department has secured £550 million for victim support services over the next three years – the largest investment to date. This includes a year-on-year funding increase, recognising the need to meet the rising cost pressures of delivery and increasing levels of demand.
