The Government is set to announce plans to reform the civil service by introducing performance-related pay and an accelerated exit process for under-performing staff
Under-performing civil servants could be encouraged to leave their jobs and senior officials will have their pay linked to performance, in a new government bid to “fundamentally reshape” the civil service
Speaking to the BBC this morning Pat McFadden said :
“We need to reform the state.. The state has grown a lot in recent years.There’s an extra 130,00 civil servants hired in the last few years of the Conservative government”
“We were of course told that Brexit would lead to less bureaucracy, but after Brexit extra civil servants were hired”
He added:
“Boris Johnson said he would cut civil servants by 90,000 but it went up”
“The guiding principle is how can the state change. We’re on the threshold of an exciting technologically revolution.. AI”
“I think the central civil service can become smaller.. I want to see more civil servants outside London where the state can get better value for money”
