Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how much his Department has spent on the Intensive Personalised Employment Support programme in each of the last five calendar years.
This question was answered on 6th December 2022
Referrals to IPES started in December 2019. Contracted expenditure is therefore provided for the years 19/20 to 21/22.
| 2017/18 | 2018/19 | 2019/20 | 2020/21 | 2021/22 |
Total | 200,000 | 1,000,000 | £3,919,670 | £5,722,876 | £9,226,276 |
The total includes estimated non-recurrent set up costs of approximately £3m, which accounts for the expenditure prior to go live with referrals.
