All service families accommodation (SFA) and single living accommodation (SLA) is assessed by Grade for Charge (GfC) and most SFA is also assessed by Standard for Condition (SfC). Where SfC is a detailed measure of the physical condition of SFA, GfC is an assessment of both the physical condition of the accommodation and other factors such as location and closeness to amenities.
Currently, SFA that is measured by SfC is at the following condition:
S1fC Percentage S2fC Percentage S3fC Percentage S4fC Percentage United Kingdom 28,103 59 17,741 37 2,105 4 120 0 Overseas 3,808 24 4,482 28 5,319 34 2,221 14
SLA is at the following grade:
Grade 1 Percentage Grade 2 Percentage Grade 3 Percentage Grade 4 Percentage United Kingdom 34,668 25 17,398 13 23,346 17 62,212 45 Overseas 3,516 13 1,594 6 4,848 17 17,990 64
Over the next decade the MOD will spend over £8 billion on accommodation, including some £3.1 billion on bringing accommodation up to the top condition. This will include the delivery of some 30,000 new or improved SLA bed-spaces by 2013 and 600 upgraded SFA properties this year, 600 next year and 800 each year thereafter.
