<p>The Government Digital Service (GDS) continues to support departments as they digitally
transform their business operations, making government services easier and more efficient
to use. There is a ‘digital first’ strategy across Government to save on time as well
as paper and postage costs, including the use of email to achieve this aim.</p><p>The
Government Communication Service (GCS) saved nearly £330m for taxpayers in 2014/15
compared to 2009/10 by making its campaigns more cost effective. The communications
profession is also more streamlined, with headcount across Government reduced by a
third since 2009/10. These reforms helped the Government reduce communications spending
by a total of £1bn over the last Parliament. GCS continues to investigate new ways
of reducing costs in Government communications.</p>
