A Picture of Public Services 2011

A Picture of Public Services 2011

The Auditor General for Wales published his first report into A Picture of Public Services in March 2010, which estimated the financial challenges facing public services in Wales.

The Auditor General for Wales published a further report A Picture of Public Services 2011 in October 2011, which provided greater clarity on the challenges that face public services in Wales during a time of unprecedented levels of financial pressure. The Auditor General found that a number of positive steps have been taken since the first report was published, but that there was still scope to do more to render efficiency savings across public services in Wales.

The Public Accounts Committee undertook an inquiry into the challenges facing local government.  In considering the financial challenges facing the NHS in Wales, the Committee was aware that the Auditor General will be publishing a forthcoming report on NHS Finances.
