Voluntary sector views invited on efficienciesThe voluntary sector is being consulted by the government about ways in which public services can be streamlined.

Employees committed to continuous improvement programmes in the sector may be interested to learn that charities are being asked for their ideas about how to produce greater value for money spent.

Unveiled by Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude and civil society minister Nick Hurd, an open letter has been addressed to voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations asking them for views about how to reduce the Budget deficit.

Bodies are being invited to work alongside the Office for Civil Society in generating savings across the public sector and identifying "better ways of doing things", something which operations management could help with.

"We are facing some of the most challenging economic times and every area of government is looking at reducing costs and streamlining their work," Mr Hurd declared.

In related news, a recent poll by the British Chambers of Commerce found that 64 per cent of business leaders welcome the balance of spending, savings and tax rises outlined by the coalition government.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800010918-ADNFCR
