By giving people choice to tailor services to their needs, a louder voice, and fair access, people will get better services their way.
Greater choice will allow people to shop around more and decide where and how they access a service. But giving people choice doesn’t mean leaving people on their own. Those who are disadvantaged will get extra help to give them fairer access to the public services they use.
And people will be given a louder voice to influence public services. Decentralising power and improving accountability will help give people and communities a real say on who, what, where, when and how the services they use are delivered.
