RPA payments


"So far, £206m has been paid, as of close on 28th March, to 27,862
customers. "

That's an *average* payment of under £7400 per payment.
Which pretty well confirms that its mostly people with small paddocks,
or small farmers that have been paid.

The Secretary of State last night (28th March) sanctioned a number of
additional steps recommended by Mark Addison, as follows:
reform RPA processes to deliver greater customer focus by dedicating
teams of staff to work on individual claims rather than the current
task-based approach, subject to successful pilot work;
as part of that change also allow processing staff to communicate with
applicants directly by phone to work through any outstanding issues;
implement a discrepancy tolerance of 2 hectares or 3% of total area
claimed, whichever is the lower, for validation of claims;
stop redundant quality checking processes so that staff can concentrate
on claim processing;
locate the people doing the mapping work alongside those processing
claims on the same site;
where mapping correspondence is outstanding, be able to make payments on
the basis of the information which RPA already have from farmers;
appoint a senior manager to take charge of the delivery of 2006 claims;
and,
address obstacles in current HR procedures that would prevent the
retention of experienced staff.


Any further options which can be identified for accelerating validation
of claims and authorisation of payments will be put to Ministers for
endorsement as soon as their usefulness can be clearly established.

So far, £206m has been paid, as of close on 28th March, to 27,862
customers. This represents real progress, but there is still a huge
amount to do.

RPA is not making any forecasts about how much will be paid out by when.
