An overview of local public services
On 24 February 2010, the Audit Commission and several other organisations jointly published a report which describes the first year of comprehensive area assessment, documenting what has been revealed about how well funds spent on local public services are meeting people's needs.
The comprehensive area assessment (CAA) is a new way of assessing local public services in England. This report:
- explains what the first year of CAA tells us about how well all partners are delivering national and local priorities and spending £200 billion of public money;
- details what helps and hinders improvement in local public services in order to guide national and local policy-makers;
- provides information for local leaders and highlights examples of how their peers have overcome some of the common challenges they face.
