Election 2019: The next five years of spending on public services
The performance of public services is a key election battle ground. After a decade of spending restraint, all political parties are now promising to invest in critical services such as hospitals, schools and social care.\n\nBut how can the next government ensure new money is spent well? What\u2019s the best way to reduce wasteful spending and deliver high quality services? How can public service leaders be held to account?\n\nWe were delighted to be joined by leading thinker and author John Seddon to discuss these themes from his new book Beyond Command and Control.\n\nHe was joined on the panel by:\n\nDavid Walker, journalist and former managing director of the Audit Commission\n\nKathy Evans, chief executive at Children England\n\nThe event was chaired by Nick Davies, programme director at the Institute for Government.
