Many to many: How the relational state will transform public services

Wednesday 12 February 2014, 17:00-18:30
IPPR Offices, 4th floor, 14 Buckingham Street, London WC2N 6DF

We need to radically reconfigure our public services so they are better able to tackle the more complex challenges we face and meet changing public expectations.  Existing approaches to public service reform have relied too heavily on the use of bureaucratic and market-based tools that are ill equipped to deal with a growing range of complex problems, from chronic disease to long term unemployment. This event will set out a new agenda for public service reform that is better equipped to deal with this complexity, by devolving power, connecting services and empowering citizens.

Speakers:
Liz Kendall MP, Shadow Minister for Care and Older People
Rick Muir, Associate Director for Public Services, IPPR
Alex Fox, Chief Executive of Shared Lives Plus
Chair: Rafael Behr, Political Editor of the New Statesman
