The government is taking action to make efficiency savings across back-office functions and communications and stopping non-essential spending on consultants. Further details are set out in Fixing the foundations: public spending audit 2-24-25.
To support the government’s ambition of making efficiency savings my department is working with the Treasury to identify opportunities to deliver the necessary saving.
