S3W-29237: Efficient Government

To ask the Scottish Executive when it will publish the Efficient Government Outturn Report for 2008-09.

Answered by John Swinney (24/11/2009): We have today published the first Efficient Government Outturn Report for the 2008-2011 Efficient Government programme. It shows that efficiency gains of £838.9 million were made in 2008-09, against the target of £534.4 million. We have also today published the fourth iteration of the Efficiency Delivery Plans. Copies of both have been placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (Bib. number 49739 and 49740) and both will be available on the Scottish Government internet site very soon along with the plans:
