UK Government Unveils £100 Million Plan to Transform State Services into Start-Up Model
The UK government is set to announce a £100 million initiative aimed at reshaping public services to function more like a start-up. Pat McFadden, the minister in charge of the Cabinet Office, emphasizes the need for a ‘test and learn’ approach typical of tech companies to drive innovation. His remarks come in the wake of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s critique of the civil service for promoting complacency and a lack of urgency in addressing public service challenges.
