Review of local service delivery – opportunity to contribute
Summary
Members will be aware that in July 2005 the First Minister announced
that Sir Jeremy Beecham, Vice-Chair of the Local Government Association
would lead a review of local service provision. In December, the Chairs
and Chief Fire Officers of the Fire and Rescue Services in Wales gave
oral evidence to Sir Jeremy. The Authority has also been invited to
provide written evidence to the review and attached is a draft
response (PDF, 42.8kb) for Members’ consideration.
Implications
The review is part of the “Delivering the Connections” agenda,
and is intended to “identify improvements in the arrangements for
local service delivery which are as radical and innovative as necessary.” The
review is not only focussing on local authorities but on services provided
by other organisations including fire and rescue, police, health and other
services. There are therefore potentially far reaching implications for
the Authority in each of the following areas and the window of opportunity
for achieving the vision as set out in “Delivering the Connections” is
time limited.
