Public Sector Reform and Innovation Fund

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what criteria was used to allocate locations for test-and-learn pilots; and how much funding will be allocated to each local authority.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The pilots were selected due to their potential impact and alignment with a new way of working (Test, Learn and Grow). No funding has been allocated in this initial phase but there is in kind resource from the Government complementing local teams. The Cabinet Office and MHCLG will be working across government and with local partners to co-design the detailed approach to the allocation of the Public Service Reform and Innovation Fund for next financial year. We will partner with the Local Government Association (LGA) on this process.
