Press release
17 November 2022
Ed Roddis, head of government and public sector research at Deloitte, comments:
“The Chancellor confirmed that Whitehall budgets will be protected for the remaining two years of the current spending review period. However, government departments still need to deal with inflation eating into their spending power.
“The Statement also confirmed government plans to launch a fresh review to seek out efficiencies. Rather than looking for cuts, taking a wider view would allow government to explore more ambitious reforms, even rethinking its size, scope and structure. That could generate the necessary savings while maintaining those vital services that the state delivers for the public.”
