Department for Work and Pensions: Jobcentres
(asked on 27th January 2023) - View Source
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 delivery of support by (a) job centres and (b) work coaches since 2011.
This question was answered on 1st February 2023
The department does not account for Job Centre expenditure as a whole. Departmental Estates and IT costs are accounted for centrally and not charged to Job Centres. To provide it would incur disproportionate costs.
The cost of Work Coaches is provided below, where available;
| £m |
2021/22 | 951.4 |
2020/21 | 689.0 |
2019/20 | 570.0 |
2018/19 | 564.3 |
2017/18 | 542.0 |
2016/17 | 542.8 |
2015/16 | 533.9 |
