Savings delivered by the Efficiency and Reform Group in each financial year since 2010 are as follows:

  • FY10/11 £3.75bn
  • FY11/12 £5.5bn
  • FY12/13 £10bn
  • FY13/14 £14.3bn

Savings delivered in each year are normally measured against a 2009/10 baseline and are a mixture of recurring and non-recurring savings.

All savings figures have been verified by the Cross Department Internal Auditors and reviewed by the NAO.
