answer text <p>This government will streamline the public bodies landscape through a robust programme of “tailored reviews” overseen by the Cabinet Office and department-led transformation programmes. Non-ministerial departments, non-departmental public bodies and executive agencies will be reviewed once per parliament. These reviews will examine whether their functions should still be delivered at arm’s length, and if so, aim to increase their efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability. This builds on the public bodies reform programme delivered from 2010-15, which successfully produced fewer, more accountable, and more efficient public bodies.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Research undertaken within the Civil Service (by the Bridge Group in 2015/16) and externally (e.g. by Trendence in 2015) shows that lower socio-economic applicants are potentially more likely to be less mobile and less willing to move to London.</p><p>A dedicated new assessment centre will open in Newcastle in Autumn 2016. From Autumn 2017 we intend to regionalise further, introducing 'pop up' centres in support of our fixed assessment locations.</p><p>Beyond the assessment process, we also require all centrally managed Fast Streamers to undertake a regional place.</p> more like this

This has helped facilitate an improvement in service performance from the pension administrator MyCSP. The Cabinet Office is committed to continuing to work with MyCSP to see this performance increase further still.</p><p>Through a process to re-set the contract with MyCSP the Cabinet Office is re-establishing the full service expectations and requirements under the contract. The focus going forward will be to work closely with MyCSP to ensure that all aspects of the service members receive is improving and is satisfactory to the scheme membership.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Where MyCSP has been notified by the member, or their employer, that they wish to receive their pension, all retired civil servants have had their pensions put into payment since MyCSP began processing such payments. Any pension entitlement not put into payment will be because either MyCSP has not been informed or because further information is required to enable the pension to be calculated accurately.</p><p>Of the Scheme’s 658,000 retired civil servants at transfer (14,000 of which were overseas pensioners), the vast majority continued to be paid accurately and on-time. Delays occurred for 36 overseas pensioners as new banking mandates had to be completed to allow processing by the new paying bank. It was subsequently discovered that the previous paying authority had not issued notification to any overseas pensioners advising them of the change in paying administration. All delayed cases were rectified promptly when the mandates were received.</p> more like this
