Good Governance Standards for the Public Sector'

An independent commission, set up last year, has published ' Good Governance Standards for the Public Sector'. The publication is a response to a report from the Office for Public management in 2003 which showed severe weaknesses in the governance of public bodies. The report looked across the public sector including police, schools, health service, quangos and local government, which in total spend some 500 billion pounds annually. It found that many governors were unclear about the process of governance and confused about their responsibilities.Taken from publicnet-admin@publicnet.co.uk list
