Defra 'confident' it has 'handle' on risk for 30% of apps out of support
The UK's department for farming and agriculture has said it is"confident" it is managing the risk related to a whopping 30 percent of its applications being out of vendor support.
The public spending watchdog found the £2.2-billion budget department estimated that it needed to spend £726 million on legacy over the four-year period from 2021-22, the second largest legacy spend requirement after the Home Office. In apublished in December 2022 [PDF], the NAO also found 30 percent of these applications unsupported by the vendor.
"[They are] out of support and therefore we have been unable to extend the support. We've got to monitor it and keep a much closer eye on it. We've got other suppliers supporting us to ensure that we can be supported if things go wrong. It is a really difficult position," she explained to the Public Accounts Committee, Parliament's spending watchdog.
"We've got some money to identify those and bring them into the fold. It's possibly slightly worse than described, but I feel confident that, by using our group approach and investing, we've got a handle on it, which is allowing us to manage the risk," she told MPs.
