Summary
Key Points: 
  • Progress on improving governments planning and spending framework is an ongoing challenge for the Treasury and the Cabinet Office, although some progress has been made since this Committee last reported in 2016.
  • However, we remain concerned that planning and spending are treated as disparate.
  • Comment from PAC Chair Meg Hillier MP:
    "The interests of users should be paramount in the delivery of public services.
  • But progress on improving the Governments planning and spending framework has been slow; published single departmental business plans remain inconsistent and short on meaningful detail.
