General Notes
	Governmentality Modernising public services A really interesting piece on modernisation in Canada - could equally apply here in the UK Targets are working say health watchdog - interesting piece which identifies how the doctors trade union takes a different stance to auditors. Performance Management in Public Services The characteristics of world class public services Developing new approaches to empowering citizens. Fostering a new professionalism across the whole public service workforce. Providing stronger strategic leadership from central government. Government strategy for public services 2008 Modernising Building Britains Future - new plans from the government June 2009 FBU IRMP Government's Working Together website Gordon Brown on working together See what the Government mean by effective and efficient Latest Audit Commission report on modernising the fire service Fire Brigades Union on modernisation FBU on audit commission Students may be interested in this link to a radio programme on Targets - it would equally apply to the uniformed services as the HNS As NHS targets fall out of political fashion, journalist Michael Blastland argues that they could be good for our health. Targets, once seen by New Labour as the key to improving public services, look as if they may be on the way out. The devolved health services of Wales and Scotland have already retreated from their previous target regimes, the Conservative Party has pledged to scrap them in England and there are signs that some of Gordon Brown's ministers are losing faith in them, too. Why then does Michael believe that there is still a case for targets?
