answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2016 answer text <p>Improving the efficiency and productivity of the public sector is central to the work of the Cabinet Office. By 2014/15 the Government had saved £18.6 billion through efficiency and reform, and tackling fraud, error and uncollected debt (against a 2009/10 baseline).</p><p>The Government Hubs programme will reduce the government office estate from around 800 buildings to around 200 by 2023 and generate savings of over £2bn over ten years.</p><p>This is being supported by a smart working revolution to transform how and where civil servants work. In line with what many private sector organisations have achieved, we expect this to increase productivity, reduce costs, improve wellbeing, and contribute to wider objectives such as localism, sustainability, and reducing pressure on the transport system.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 14/03/2016 15:29:55 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
