Listen Later

Poor public service performance was a key reason for Labour’s victory in the 2024 election. Following the new government’s first multi-year spending review and a major reshuffle, this event brough together a panel of experts to discuss how successfully Labour has managed public services since coming to office.  

This event brought together a panel of experts to discuss these key questions:

  • What was Labour’s public service inheritance?
  • How much progress has the government made on public services since the election?  
  • What impact with the spending review have on public service performance?
  • What are the biggest public service challenges that need to be addressed over the rest of the parliament?
  • What are the implications for the budget?
  • As the Institute for Government published the latest edition of Performance Tracker, written in partnership with the Nuffield Foundation, which featured new analysis on the performance of public services, Amber DellarStuart Hoddinott and Cassia Rowland, presented the key findings. They were joined by Stephen Bush, associate editor and columnist at the Financial Times.

    This event was chaired by Nick Davies, Programme Director at the Institute for Government, with an introduction by Mark Franks at the Nuffield Foundation.  

    This event was kindly supported by the Nuffield Foundation.
