Attention is currently focused on making efficiency savings in the delivery of public services. The Committee of Public Accounts has an important responsibility for helping hold government bodies to account but it believes that it can also play a valuable and constructive role in drawing out the main lessons from the wealth of evidence presented to it. This Report contains findings arising from the Committee's work over the past decade in analysing the barriers to well thought through implementation of government programmes and efficiency in the provision of public services and how they can be overcome.
Although its work is largely concerned with United Kingdom departments and agencies of central government, the Committee hopes that this Report will assist in the successful implementation of the current reform agenda in all parts of the public service throughout the United Kingdom and in the devolved administrations.
