Answer
The spending proposals put forward by departments as part of the In Year Monitoring process are informed by a broad range of factors including the need to address poverty and social exclusion.
Departments identify and fully consider the anti-poverty and social inclusion implications on individuals, groups or areas and complete a High Level Impact Assessment for any proposed changes submitted in each Monitoring Round.
