Economic think tank calls for restoration of public values
CLES, the UK’s independent progressive economics think and do tank, has today launched a paper calling for the restoration of public values in public services.
Restoring Public Values in Public Services outlines how a ‘private is best’ approach has led to a situation in which public services are too often outsourced to low quality, high cost providers who, in a race to the bottom, have compromised the dignity and safety of people who rely on these services.
