With regard to the first year of the ring fenced grant, 2013-14, Public Health England (PHE) requested Statements of Assurance on two occasions.

A preliminary Statement of Assurance with a deadline in May 2014 was requested from the 152 local authorities in receipt of a ring fenced grant. PHE received a satisfactory Statement of Assurance from all 152 local authorities.

A final Statement of Assurance with a deadline of 30 September 2014 has been requested from the 152 local authorities in receipt of a ring fenced grant. As this deadline has yet to be reached, we cannot yet report. PHE is receiving statements in on a daily basis and assessing the statements to ensure that they are satisfactory.
