Government calls for views on public service reformHM Treasury has issued a call to experts, managers working in the public sector and providers of services to submit ideas for reform.

Those concerned with continuous improvement and operations management in the field may be particularly interested in the government consultation, which will feed into the Public Service Reform White Paper in 2011.

Announced by chancellor George Osborne as part of the Spending Review on October 20th, the document will outline ways in which power will be moved away from Whitehall and towards local communities.

This is according to a statement from the Treasury outlining ministers' intentions for public service reform, with views sought in areas such as "extending innovative payment and funding mechanisms", boosting democratic accountability and permitting communities and public employees to purchase and run services.

Meanwhile, analysts from the Ernst & Young Item Club forecast as many as 100,000 public sector roles could be saved by plans to impose deeper cuts to welfare budgets than initially intended.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800261056-ADNFCR
