The Institute for Government has teamed up with BBC's Today Programme to find best practice in providing better public services for less cost.

Listeners who are public servants are being asked to submit their real world examples of ways to save money that could deliver savings elsewhere in government. An Institute for Government will then analyse the results.

Speaking on the programme, Lord Bichard said: "Do we take money out of public services, which are in many respects flawed already, and leave those services with less money? Or do we look at more radical ways of delivering our services?

"Our services do have a number of flaws. They are often delivered in isolation. People don’t work well across departmental and organisational boundaries. They don’t work together to purchase goods and services and so are wasting money.

"There are many ways in which we could provide better services at less cost. There are organisations around the country who are doing this already. We need to get their best practice more widely known."
