1C: NAO Report On Better Use Of Workspace.
Running time: 11:20 - 12:20
he National Audit Office is here today to present the key messages from its report ‘Getting the best from public sector office accommodation’. This is not a traditional National Audit Office report for Parliament. It is instead a report to government, designed to contribute to current thinking around how best to use, and manage, public sector office space. Rather than a forensic examination of the current situation it is forward looking, exploring what it might be possible to achieve by drawing on examples of best practice in the public and private sectors, as well as the latest developments in the market and how the public sector might best respond and realise emerging opportunities. As such, it complements the NAO’s programme of work examining and supporting the drive towards improved public sector efficiency.
