Public Service Reform Directorate

We are responsible for the development and oversight of the Public Service Reform Strategy.

Scotland's Public Service Reform Strategy: Delivering for Scotland - gov.scot

Our directorate supports long-term reform of Scotland’s public services to ensure services remain sustainable, effective and focused on improving outcomes.

Our teams lead on:

public service reform – strategy and governance
public bodies support and the Public Bodies Landscape Review
Whole Family Support
Community Planning
Single Authority Models
Local Governance Review
the Scottish Leaders Forum

Our overarching aim is to accelerate the creation of efficient, preventative, and better joined-up public services, which address key priorities and deliver on the National Performance Framework.

We report on progress of the PSR Programme to parliament at 6-monthly intervals. These updates are published and can be found here.
