Transforming public services
The easiest cuts in public spending have been made. To make bigger savings without affecting its customers, government needs to find new ways to organise and deliver public services. For example, it has started to delegate to local organisations and contract out services, create market-like ways of choosing and supplying services, and use digital technology better.
To succeed, government needs new skills and new ways to manage customers, ensuring that services are not disrupted. It also needs to coordinate national priorities such as growth, environmental management and infrastructure development.
The NAO shares the lessons and good practice it has identified across government in specific aspects such as Strategic centre of government; Customer management; Digital services; User choice and protection; Economic growth; and Environmental sustainability.
Key NAO publications:
- Transformation guidance for audit committees (May 2018)
- The art of spending public money wisely (Oct 2015)
- Welfare reform - lessons learned (May 2015)
- Transforming government's contract management (Sep 2014)
