3: Government and Delivery
STREAMLINE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT FOR SHARPER DELIVERY Other Information:
Central government has a clear task. It must provide leadership on the big challenges – ranging from reducing child poverty
to supporting economic recovery – and help public services deliver day-to-day excellence. This means setting policy priorities,
guaranteeing national entitlements and building up capacity for the frontline. The previous chapters set out how public services
will become more transparent, user-driven and locally accountable. The challenge for central government is to support this
response by becoming even more agile and effective. Smarter government can meet this challenge by streamlining the centre,
sharpening its focus on excellence and freeing up efficiencies for the frontline.
