One North West: Open Public Services discussion paper
5 September 2011
One North West, the regional BME network, has publised a discussion paper on the Open Public Services White Paper.
It asks eight key questions:
► Do all communities have the same choices?
► What measures need to be put in place in order that everyone has an equal choice?
► How will voiceless minorities be excluded from public services?
► What practical things could be put in place to ensure hidden voices are always considered?
► Are there examples of unequal access to contracts/relationships with the private sector?
► What needs to be in place to ensure a truly 'fair playing field'?
► What opportunities exist to target funding to help the poorest, promote social mobility and provide access to public services (consistent with the government’s fiscal plans)?
► How can the government ensure that its approach to opening up public services protects and enhances accountability rather than dispersing it?
