The greatest savings and reform will only be achieved by working across government. The Efficiency and Reform Group (ERG) is able to look strategically across departmental boundaries with a tough central mandate to deliver real, cashable, efficiencies by improving our spending processes and help protect key priorities by modernising the ways of delivering services. ERG aims to change the culture on spending, use transparency to help the public hold Government to account, and to get rid of unnecessary targets and processes.
ERG will help reduce operational overheads across government by helping departments eradicate wasteful spending. This can be achieved through exploiting economies of scale and reducing duplication, increasing standardisation across departments, and enabling greater comparability of work.
ERG will also be able to drive radical reform of the way we deliver front-line services; opening up public services to non-traditional providers, such as smaller businesses, devolving power to the front-line and increasing peoples’ say on how services are delivered in their area.
