The Efficiency and Savings Review will keep spending focused on the government’s priorities and help manage pressures from higher inflation. Government departments will continue to identify efficiency savings in day-to-day budgets. We need to be ambitious as a government in finding ways of working even more efficiently and focus spending where it delivers the greatest value for the taxpayer. The government will report on progress in the Spring.
