HCA watchers are beginning to digest the fallout from Kickstart and, of course, we are all tracking the much vaunted Single Conversation, currently underway with local authorities.
Those local authorities who are or have been in receipt of good news are now finding that the timetable for the pilots is rather onerous.
As a result they are necessarily getting very busy indeed.
But sometimes you should be careful what you wish for.....As one wag put it, "some may fall over from the shock!"
And - whoopee - there is also new vocabulary to learn as well as new TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms).
Well, they are a government agency, after all. Bless.
Hands up who know what LIPs and LIAs are then? Or as The Jane Doe's sang: "Who's kidding who, spouting truth through lips of liars?" (Who says I don't do popular culture, then?)
Well, LIPs are Local Investment Plans and LIAs are Local Investment Agreements. These are both "non-legally binding" Single Conversation output documents. Now I know I'm a bit dense but I do struggle a bit to understand what the practical difference is between the documents.
