Public finances are set for sharp reductions, with Spending Review 2011/14 expected to be tougher than any we have had in the recent past. Local government services are likely to take a disproportionate share of the funding cuts.
Local government will want to balance the books whilst minimising the impact on local communities and local people. Priority will be given to efficiency savings and reductions in back-office functions.
Developing a robust medium-term financial strategy helps councils to deliver on this difficult agenda.
Public Sector Consultants can provide individual consultants [or a team] to help you develop a medium-term financial strategy, to develop a future budget-setting programme or support individual savings proposals. For more information please call 01246 278385
