INITIATIVE-ITIS

A Welcome End?

 

Initiative-itis. No, I haven’t made a word up, that was Hugh Robertson the new Sports Minister.

Mr Robertson was interviewed in last Friday’s Telegraph, the following is an excerpt;

 

Robertson sees the legacy of 2012 as his top priority. “The lack of a tangible mass-participation sports legacy from 2012 is the single biggest sports policy challenge facing the government,” he says.

 

His solution will be an end to what he calls ‘initiative-itis’, “dropping little pots of money here and there without any coherence”, and a shake-up of the way public money is delivered in sport. He is developing a five-point plan for his policy and details will follow, but the gist is clear.

 

Find out what we think about an end to 'initiative-itis' here.
