| Annotation | In 2008, the 2020 Public Services Trust (www.2020publicservicestrust.org) launched the Commission on 2020 Public Services, to examine how public services can respond to the challenges of the next decade. This final report of the Commission argues that our public services are increasingly unsustainable. It calls for a complete reconfiguring of public services around the needs and capabilities of citizens, based on the principle of social productivity - greater social responsibility and more intelligent collaboration between citizens and public services. To enable this new focus on social productivity to succeed, three profound shifts are needed in public services: a shift in culture, in which public services must engage and enrol citizens and wider society; a shift in power from Whitehall to citizens, neighbourhoods, cities and counties; and a shift in finance that is more transparent and reflects the purposes that services are intended to achieve. This and other reports of the Commission on 2020 Public Services can be found on the Trust's website (at http://www.2020publicservicestrust.org/publication... (RH). |
