– one focused on developing the ICT system components and the other on implementing a parallel programme of Organisational Change. Phase 1 of the SDM programme, which focused on the Child Benefit scheme, was successfully implemented in November 2002. The development of the new IT system and improved work practices allows the Child Benefit area to respond more rapidly to customer claims and to deliver a more personalised and efficient service. Phase 2 of SDM commenced on 31 May 2004 and covers the extension of the programme to Retirement and Old Age Contributory Pension (now renamed State Pension (Transition) (SPT) and State Pension (Contributory) respectively (SPC)), Household Benefits, Free Travel, Early Childcare Supplement and Bereavement Grant. This Phase also incorporated the implementation of a new Overpayments and Debt Management system. While none of the individual projects involved costs over €30 million, expenditure on all SDM related projects in the period since commencement (2001 to end 2006) amounts to €33 million. annual report 2006 103
