The NCS Recipients summary page is a comprehensive tool designed to manage and monitor attendees receiving NCS subsidies for various activities. It provides a detailed overview of each recipient's booking status, allowing for efficient tracking and management of subsidies.
The primary purpose of the NCS Recipients summary page is to offer a centralised view of all attendees who are receiving NCS subsidies. This includes tracking their booking status, claimed hours, and any discrepancies in their subsidy claims. The page is designed to help administrators ensure that subsidies are being utilised correctly and to identify any potential issues with bookings.
