Paul Blomfield – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Cabinet Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Paul Blomfield on 2014-06-16.

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent estimate he has made of potential savings to the public purse from the Shared Services Connected Ltd venture.

Mr Francis Maude

There has been cross-party agreement on the need for Shared Services for a decade but until recently all too little was achieved.

Independent Shared Service Centres will deliver a lower cost better quality of service, helping us to deliver a faster, smaller and more unified Civil Service.

Shared Service Connected Limited will contribute to the savings deliveredto the taxpayer by the transformation of back office functions, which will total over £400m by 2015/16.
