Government asks public to vote on savings ideasMembers of the public are being invited to visit a new website that allows them to vote on areas where public sector savings and changes should be made.

The Spending Challenge has been launched by HM Treasury as part of efforts to reduce government expenditure and cut the current budget deficit with the minimum harm done to the delivery of public services.

It forms part of the Spending Review, which comes to an end on October 20th, with voting closing on August 31st, something that may be of particular interest to operations management professionals.

The process of consultation will be used to inform public sector budgets over the coming four years and the website has been divided into categories such as benefits, transport, charities, defence, central government, environment, health and police.

Visitors to the portal are invited to rate proposals with between one and five stars after more than 44,000 suggestions were made.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800034286-ADNFCR
