Details

The declaration sets our priorities for reform in three areas:

  1. People - ensuring that the right people are working in the right places with the right incentives;
  2. Performance - modernising the operation of government, being clear-eyed about our priorities, and objective in our evaluation of what is and is not working; and
  3. Partnership - strengthening the bond between Ministers and officials, always operating as one team from policy through to delivery, and between central government and institutions outside it.
