Public Accounts Committee: Shared services
Committee hears from witnesses
The Public Accounts Committee is conducting oral evidence sessions to examine how shared services are operating across government. This inquiry will assess whether public sector organisations are effectively pooling resources and capabilities to deliver services more efficiently and cost-effectively, and identify any barriers to better coordination.
Shared services affect how central government, local authorities, and public bodies spend taxpayer money. The outcome could influence future spending decisions and reveal whether current arrangements represent value for money, making it relevant to anyone concerned with public sector efficiency and fiscal accountability.
