We are determined to deliver public services that British people can be proud of – offering excellent service and good value for money. By refocusing government on core delivery, we will create a public sector that proudly embraces productivity, automation and a culture of service. Integrity, honesty, objectivity and impartiality are the key values necessary to achieve this aspiration.
- The Nolan Principles of integrity, honesty, objectivity, and impartiality will be upheld throughout government and third sector organisations. Government funding will be withdrawn from any body failing to do so.
- All specialist ‘Equity, Diversity and Inclusion’ roles throughout the public sector will be abolished.
- Public sector organisations will select on merit and strive to attract the best available talent regardless of identity, place of birth, or upbringing
- We will conduct a zero-based efficiency review of all public and government bodies, including quangos. The key test will be whether taxpayers would willingly pay for the service provided and if not, activities will no longer be funded.
- Each government department will produce a 5-year productivity plan, assessing priorities for more efficient service delivery, value for money, and workforce morale.
- Taxpayers will be surveyed to test priorities for each department. Relevant performance metrics will be set and reported upon quarterly. Senior civil servants whose departments do not deliver on these plans within a reasonable time frame will be replaced.
