The Cabinet Office Efficiency and Reform Group was formed in June 2010 to drive reforms that improve public services, deliver savings and reduce wasteful expenditure.

On 10 June my right hon. Friend the Chancellor and I announced savings through efficiency and reform of central Government of £14.3 billion for 2013-14 against a 2009-10 baseline. These savings are both recurring and non-recurring items and include £5.4 billion from procurement and commercial savings, £3.3 billion in project savings and £4.7 billion from work force reform and pensions savings.
