Release Date: 2006-03-10
This joint report by the National Audit Office and the Audit Commission examines the different ways in which public services are delivered, the nature of the links between partners in public service delivery chains, and how these can be made more efficient and effective. The report draws its conclusions in part from analysis of reports regarding three major Public Service Agreement (PSA) targets relating to affordable housing, increasing bus use, and halting the rise in child obesity. It recommends that government departments and their delivery partners use a self-assessment list of 12 strategic questions to help them understand their capacity to deliver efficient and effective public services, covering issues such as risk management, strategic funding plans and the need for a robust evidence base.
Delivering Police Services Effectively
This book addresses the various strategies that are available to police management, such as consolidation, regionalization, and amalgamation of police agencies; new public management (NPM); enhanced performance management; civilianization; and organizational restructuring. It fills the gap in the research as to how police agencies have reacted to the environmental and fiscal changes since the 1980s. The book examines the strategies employed and the effect on police and their delivery of service.
Fiscal Decentralization and the Efficiency of Public Service Delivery

This paper explores the impact of fiscal decentralization on the efficiency of public service delivery. It uses a stochastic frontier method to estimate time-varying efficiency coefficients and analyzes the impact of fiscal decentralization on those efficiency coefficients. The findings indicate that fiscal decentralization can improve the efficiency of public service delivery but only under specific conditions. First, the decentralization process requires adequate political and institutional environments. Second, a sufficient degree of expenditure decentralization seems necessary to obtain favorable outcomes. Third, decentralization of expenditure needs to be accompanied by sufficient decentralization of revenue. Absent those conditions, fiscal decentralization can worsen the efficiency of public service delivery.
