Cabinet Office Minister Jack Cunningham has launched the programme for modernising government. The White Paper sets out a vision for transforming the way government works for people and a programme for achieving the transformation.
The aims of the programme are to ensure that policy making is more joined up and strategic, to focus services more closely on people’s lives and to deliver high quality and efficient services.
People are exercising choice and demanding higher quality services.
