About the Book

As part of the "2004 Spending Review", the Government launched an ambitious efficiency programme that set demanding targets for Government departments to achieve monetary savings, headcount reductions, and relocation of posts from London and the South-East. The Committee's inquiry looks at the effects of that efficiency programme, known as the Gershon Review, on the Chancellor's departments, following the final report published in the 2008 Pre-Budget Report. It also examines the more recent programmes announced in budgets. Conclusions and recommendations include: the Committee notes that the National Audit Office (NAO) interim report about Gershon efficiency savings highlights serious problems in measuring efficiency; the NAO did not audit the final Gershon efficiency savings and this has led to a lack of confidence on the part of some organisations in respect of the reported savings; the Government must work with the NAO to ensure that future efficiencies are accurately measured and should establish robust data collection processes at the start of future efficiency programmes; and, the Committee is concerned that the additional GBP 5 billion added to the Value for Money target in the 2008 Pre-Budget report was a figure chosen by Ministers without prior consultation with the relevant Departments. The report also emphasises the importance of maintaining morale. Staff should be encouraged to feel proud at increasing the efficiency of their department.
