HUMMING THE FAT

摘要

The new government's decision to reduce the huge budget deficit by cutting ￡6.25bn of expenditure immediately, while tackling social problems such as long-term unemployment, calls for radical thinking and action. The real challenge though is to figure out how to do this, while improving the services delivered to taxpayers. But simple wage arbitrage will not deliver the long term results needed. Nor will it guarantee the provision of what citizens are demanding - effective government services that are delivered efficiently.
