The Government are taking steps to improve and align public services. In five of our existing mayoral strategic authorities, we have launched place-based budget pilots, which will test how total-place approaches can improve public services. Authorities and service users will be empowered to identify duplication and fragmentation and to redesign services so they are more innovative and person-centred. We are giving mayors the power to convene meetings with local partners in relation to public service reform, among other areas of competence.
