Efficiencies isn’t shorthand for cuts to the frontline, quite the opposite. It’s about tackling unnecessary duplication, sharing services across organisations and making better use of data, digital tools and our public estate.

Poverty, poor health and inequality are not inevitable, they are challenges we can address earlier and more effectively with better outcomes for people.

Empowering staff, service users and local communities to help rewire the design and delivery of services is key as every pound saved from inefficiency is a pound we can invest in care, education and communities.
