[127949]
Mr. Caborn:
As part of the investment model, UK Sport is providing lottery funding of £10.5 million to the EIS for this and for each of the next two financial years. In addition, UK Sport has confirmed to Summer Olympic sports a guideline figure to be spent on sports science and sports medicine (SS/SM) services. The guideline figure provided to each sport is shown in the
following table. It is up to the individual sport in conjunction with UK Sport to agree the exact amount invested into SS/SM services. It is important to recognise that sports can purchase additional SS/SM services at any time and therefore there is no cut-off point when a sport will stop purchasing extra support.
