North West Improvement & Efficiency Partnership 2008/11
07 September 2011
Introduction....
Formed in April 2008, the North West Improvement and Efficiency
Partnership (NWIEP) is a member-led partnership of all local
authorities in the North West and their partners. The Partnership
uses local connections and local knowledge to help councils, fire
and rescue services and their partners to be masters of their own
improvement and efficiency destiny, rather than be dependent on
external regulators or central Government for the inspiration to
develop and improve the region's public services.
It has now completed its three year programme and is in the
process of transferring its work back into the sector. This
will signal the end of the successful life of the NWIEP. It
is expected to be completed by March 2012.
This report (over the six booklets) contains an overview of the
last three years looking at the North West picture as a whole
(efficiency, enabling, partnerships and climate change activities)
as well as all individual key areas of activity: Cheshire
and Warrington, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Merseyside and
Lancashire.
Our Mission Statement...
The North West Improvement and Efficiency Partnership will
support public sector organisations by funding, co-ordinating and
communicating a range of focused programmes that will significantly
transform the delivery of their efficiency and improvement
strategies. We will be instrumental in increasing the spread
of best practice across the region's public sector
organisations. We will be forerunner in the drive to secure
leading-edge public services for the North West. We will be a
focal point to inspire the North West's public sector to stretch
for the best possible performance in order to deliver world-class
services.
