The UK government has announced reforms to facilitate the compulsion of civilian employees who suffer from a lack of drafting, along with stronger salaries related to the performance of senior officials as part of Whitehall’s disposal plans.

Pat McFadin, Minister of Cabinet Office, said that Whiteon was “not identical” and pledged that the ministers “will mainly restore how the state handed over to people.”

The higher mandarin paid at the top of the civil service will face a tougher monitoring of performance, as those who are considered palaces in the light of six months to improve or face the separation under plans.

MCFADNEN is also supervised by the creation of “mutual agreed outlets” in departments, a process to motivate officials who suffer from poor performance to leave their jobs that the hopes of the Labor Party will make it easy to remove officials.

Reforms will come with a new payment system for payment to reward eligible officials responsible for providing the five tasks to the government.

Makfadin fixes the rules for employing the civil service at a time when the American federal bureaucracy was attacked by the Donald Trump administration, especially through the so -called it Ministry of Governmental efficiency It is led by Elon Musk.

McFANAN said to the BBC: Sunday with Laura QuinsburgHe added, “It is not an ideological approach to stripping the state.”

He also indicated that there will be a significant decrease in the number of employees throughout Whiteon, as the Cabinet Office said that 15,000 additional employees have joined the civil service since the end of 2023 without leading simultaneous improvements in public services.

McFadden did not specify a tangible goal of the number of job cuts, but at the Financial Times times It was first revealed In December, the government was looking forward to discounts for more than 10,000 civil service jobs.

“I think the central civil service will become smaller,” McFaden told the BBC. “I want to see more civil service employees working outside London, where I think the country can get a better value for money.”

McFadden also introduces a new goal for one out of every 10 civilian employees to work in data or digital roles by 2030, making the public sector in line with private sector standards.

This transformation will be delivered through industrial discipleship and the re -training of the current civil service employees, according to the Cabinet Office.

McFaden’s comments came before a speech on Thursday by Prime Minister Sir Kerr Starmer on efficiency in the public sector. Starmer called for a comprehensive reform of the state in order to provide its five tasks, which are economic growth, improve NHS, crime treatment, remove “barriers in front of the opportunity” and the installation of green shipping green energy.

The reaction of the unions that represent civilian service employees angrily on the reform package was. Dave Pinman, Secretary -General of the Food and Drug Administration Federation, which represents senior officials, said that the Labor Party was repeating the list of previous conservative governments that “public services are hindered by a handful of poor artists in the higher civil service.”

He said that the government must address “the non -competitive wages rates that see the senior civil service employees who earn salaries half of private sector equations” instead of seeking “to tamper with the edges of the performance payment system that has been present for more than two decades.”

Pinman said that the ministers should put “realistic priorities” for the government, instead of issuing the vocal dress about “offering more for a lesser.”
