High-quality public services are crucial for the strength and health of this country. They provide the platform on which we achieve our ambitions for our families, communities and society.
Over the last decade, major investment in public services has been coupled with far-reaching reform to build public services around the needs of the patient, the pupil and the citizen. The result has been greatly improved, more responsive and accessible services for the public through an increased variety of providers and greater responsibility at local levels.
But just as the expectations of the public rightly continue to grow, so our public services must continue to improve. No one believes that the level of service and choice that was acceptable, for example, in the days of food rationing 60 years ago is sufficient at a time of 24-hour opening and almost infinite variety in the shops. Our public services face the same challenges to continue improving so they can fulfil their vital role in strengthening society and extending prosperity while retaining the support of those who fund them.
A paper on Public Services from the Prime Minister’s Strategy Unit has been published.
