Download or read book House of Commons Committee of Public Accounts Charges for Customer Telephone Lines HC 617 written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Telephone services are a vital part of government support, accounting for 43% of all customer contacts. But departments are continuing to make extensive use of higher rate phone numbers for customer telephone lines despite the fact that many people are put off calling as a result. The most vulnerable callers, on the lowest incomes, face some of the highest charges. Costs to callers are even higher because the caller has to endure long waiting times and poor customer service. In the face of this evidence we welcome the Cabinet Office's acknowledgement that it was "inappropriate" for vulnerable citizens to pay a substantial charge to access public services and its commitment to establish best practice in this field and ensure it is followed across government
Download or read book The Official History of Privatisation Vol I written by David Parker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-01-29 with total page 1030 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume of the Official History studies the background to privatisation, and the privatisations of the first two Conservative Governments led by Margaret Thatcher from May 1979 to June 1987. First commissioned by the then Prime Minister Tony Blair as an authoritative history, this volume addresses a number of key questions: To what extent was privatisation a clear policy commitment within the Thatcher Governments of the 1980s - or did Government simply stumble on the idea? Why were particular public corporations sold early in the 1980s and other sales delayed until well into the 1990s? What were the privatisation objectives and how did they change over time, if at all? How was each privatisation planned and executed, how were different City advisers appointed and remunerated, what precise roles did they play? How was each privatisation administered; in what ways did the methods evolve and change and why? How were sale prices determined? Which government departments took the lead role; what was the input of the Treasury and Bank of England; and what was the relationship between Ministers and civil servants? The study draws heavily from the official records of the British Government to which the author was given full access and from interviews with leading figures involved in each of the privatisations – including ex-Ministers, civil servants, business and City figures, as well as academics that have studied the subject. This new official history will be of much interest to students of British political history, economics and business studies.

Download or read book House of Commons Committee of Public Accounts The New Homes Bonus HC 114 written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Homes Bonus was introduced as a financial incentive for local authorities to encourage the building of new homes. The scheme is funded from existing local authority grants. £7.5 billion will have been redistributed between councils by 2018-19, so there is a lot of money at stake. It is clearly vital that the incentives work and the Government achieves its aim. It is therefore disappointing that after more than two years of the scheme being up and running, no evaluation is in place and no credible data is available to show whether the scheme is working or not. So far the areas which have gained most money tend to be the areas where housing need is lowest. The areas that have lost most tend to be those where needs are greatest. The Department has yet to demonstrate whether the New Homes Bonus works. Is it helping to create more new homes than would have been built anyway? Is it the best way for Government to use its limited resources to create more homes where they are needed most? Its planned evaluation of the Bonus scheme is now urgent

This book was released on 2007-06-14 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Railtrack first planned the upgrade of the West Coast Mainline it was to have been completed in two phases in 2002 and 2005, used untried signalling technology and cost £2.6 billion. In the event the signalling was not installed, progress was much slower than anticipated and Railtrack collapsed. Network rail took over the project and put in place a more robust strategy to deliver the upgrade in three stages between 2004 and 2008. The first two stages have already been delivered on schedule. However the total modernisation cost is likely to be around £8.6 billion and the line will still be prone to overcrowding at peak times and is thus likely to need further investment. This report looks at the project on the basis of a report by the Comptroller and Auditor General.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forms are one of the most frequent ways a citizen interacts with government departments. If a form is badly designed it is likely lead to errors and increase processing costs, also the public is less inclined to believe that progress is being made to a more responsive and accessible service. Based on an NAO report (HC 1145 2002-03 ISBN 0102923604), the Committee took evidence from the Inland Revenue, DES, DWP and Passport Service on the three main issues of: designing user friendly forms; improved administrative efficiency; progress to providing online services. The \are 12 main recommendations.
Download or read book Department of Health written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-06-07 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Properly managed, the use of temporary nurses can play an important role in helping hospital achieve flexibility. However their high use can have a detrimental impact on patient care and satisfaction. In 2001 the Department of Health anticipated that a growth in the NHS workforce would lead to a decline in the use of temporary staff but in spite of this intention temporary nurses still account for the same percentage of the nursing budget (around 9%). On the basis of a report by the Comptroller and Auditor General, the Committee has investigated the extent of the use of temporary nurses; whether the process is properly planned and managed; and whether there are safety and quality implications. One of the conclusions is that there has a lack of planning and it is only as a result of the problem with deficits that the NHS has taken a more co-ordinated approach
Download or read book The right of access to open countryside written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-06-21 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Countryside Rights of Way Act 2000 introduced a public right to walk across designated mountain, moor, heath, downs and registered common land in England. DEFRA tasked the Countryside Agency with opening-up the new access by the end of 2005, and the target was met with two months to spare. However the implementation of the right to roam cost the Countryside Agency £24.6 million more than anticipated, with knock-on impacts on other programmes. This report looks at the implementation of open access and the effect of the policy under the headings: encouraging the public to use the right to roam across the countryside; protecting the environment of access land and the rights of landowners; improving planning and project management. However the success of legislation is as yet unknown because there is no information on the extent to which the public are making use of their new right. In October 2006 the responsibility for open access passed from the Countryside Agency to Natural England.

This book was released on 2005-07-12 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of estates liable to inheritance tax has grown in recent years, reflecting the rising value of assets in property, particularly of houses. Following on from a National Audit Office report (HCP 17, session 2004-05; ISBN 0102931550), the Committee's report focuses on the following issues: strengthening compliance checks and enforcing penalties for non-compliance; improving case processing and making the system easier to use, including simplifying forms; and the operation of the tax exemption scheme for heritage assets. A number of conclusions and recommendations are made, including the need to: improve data collection and analysis to examine the tax gap on undeclared or under-valued assets; consider extending regulations on disclosure obligations to inheritance tax avoidance schemes; and to further reduce the number of long-outstanding cases by setting targets and making full use of powers to secure information required. The report also recommends that the Revenue should consider developing a co-ordinated bereavement website, in co-operation with other departments, containing advice and information on dealing with the death of a relative, including filing inheritance tax and probate returns.
