What are Provider Reference Groups?

Provider Reference Group meetings comprise 12 providers and key LSC staff.

The groups discuss development and implementation of LSC policy and projects.

PRGs were set up in Mar 2008, with civil and crime meetings taking place in Cardiff, Manchester/Liverpool, Bristol, London, Leeds, Newcastle, Nottingham Cambridge and Brighton.

What have the groups achieved?

Achievements include:

new litigator fee processes to address delays in disputes on bills
a programme of support for providers
improved LSC website functionality
development of electronic submission forms.

There is still much more that can be achieved, with help from you.

Why should you get involved?

PRGs have allowed a direct interaction between providers and key LSC staff, including a commissioner, who chairs the group.

See Documents for a summary of achievements as well as the terms of reference for the groups.
