LAA Dry-run - National

The OPM report outlines the headline findings of the LAA dry-run negotiation process undertaken between April and July 2007.

The objectives of the LAA dry-run (formerly LAA Feasibility testing) were to:

• identify critical success factors for negotiating priorities and targets for new LAAs,
  
• identify ways of overcoming specific challenges,
  
• produce a clear and workable framework for local authorities, their partners, Government Offices and Central Government Departments to identify the priorities to be included in LAAs for 08/09 and the negotiation framework for improvement targets.

The report sets out headline messages emerging from reports submitted by the 17 partnerships, 9 GOs and 7 Government departments identifying what they had achieved during the dry-run, what remained outstanding and why, and key learning points. It provides first cut coverage of what was tested, what participants felt they achieved and the outstanding issues requiring clarification.
