Government appoints Sir Philip Green to head efficiency reviewMinisters have selected retail tycoon Sir Philip Green to head an efficiency review of government spending.

In news that may affect operations management experts in the public sector, the boss of clothing giant Arcadia Group will assess expenditure over the past three years in a bid to highlight potential savings.

Under the terms of the external review, requested by prime minister David Cameron, inefficiencies will be identified in the current system and recommendations made for the future.

Minister for the Cabinet Office Francis Maude commented: "This government is doing its utmost to ensure we make savings at the centre, not the front line."

Sir Philip will be supported by officials from the Cabinet Office and will examine progress towards implementation of the Operational Efficiency Programme and whether government contracts and leases offer value for money.

Analyst Gartner recently advocated adopting a "radical" approach to delivering public services around the world in order to reduce budget deficits through sustainable savings.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800028469-ADNFCR
