How Labour can fix our broken public services

Labour calls it a “change election”. But how much difference might a Labour government make? In this five part series, Gwyn Bevan, Patrick Diamond, Kate Bayliss, Stewart Lansley, and Abby Innes, set out an agenda that could take the country in a fundamentally different direction. In this third instalment, Gwyn Bevan and Abby Innes argue that besides more funding, the way Labour can improve the country’s broken public services is by improving their governance. Instead of treating public services with a market logic that isn’t suitable to them, the next government should focus of offering the right incentives and rewards for improved performance.
