The open public services agenda is driven by the Government’s desire to make sure that everyone has access to the best possible public services, and that the best become better still.

To improve quality for all, and particularly for the most vulnerable, we are determined to open up the provision of the public services and target funding at the most disadvantaged. Open public services can make a dramatic difference by treating citizens as grown-ups – by giving them greater choice and control; genuine information on outcomes; and a stronger role for their communities.

Open Public Services 2012

The Government has published Open Public Services 2012 which sets out the achievements made since the publication of the Open Public Services White Paper.
