4. Value ..........??????? Julian Ashby chair (HCA) regulation committee Board responsibility: TSA keen to promote (VFM) but don't think it’s their role to tell people how to do it. For each organisation to work through itself led by its board and executives. Primary issue: On average around two thirds of tenants have their rents supported by housing benefit. So taxpayer interest in VFM is legitimate. But the issue isn't primarily about saving money, it is about future investment in new homes and a range of related services.

5. Value ..........??????? More from Julian Bigger picture: Housing associations turn over £12bn per year. A 1% efficiency saving yields a useful sum but not enough to build many homes. The open market value of social housing is around £250bn. Unlocking 1% of this value would build a great many homes. That is why the draft VFM standard suggests that providers should understand the return on their assets and develop a strategy for maximising the future return as measured against their own social objectives
