    Performance Tracker 2022

    "Ahead of the government's medium-term fiscal plan, the annual Institute for Government/Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) public services stocktake reveals that public services won’t have returned to pre-pandemic performance by the next election, which in most cases was already worse than when the Conservatives came to power in 2010.

    Performance Tracker reviews the state of nine public services – general practice, hospitals, adult social care, children’s social care, neighbourhood services, schools, police, criminal courts and prisons – and their comparative and inter-connected problems.

    The report shows that projected 3.4% per year average budget increases set out in the 2021 spending review have fallen – due to inflation and higher than anticipated pay awards – to 1.5%, which is unlikely to be enough to meet growing demands and deal with the aftermath of Covid in most services. At the same time long-term staff shortages are set to worsen due to below-inflation pay rises and the cost-of-living crisis"

    Annoyingly, the hospitals link is broken, so can’t see the metrics. That’s the area where there just might be savings - but from capital budgets, giving up on refurbs and emergency repairs, not from revenue budgets. Looks very, very bleak in primary and ASC though.

    Exit - working now, and goodness those trend lines are horrible.
