Government will be hosting a town-hall meeting on SAGE Commission Recommendations tomorrow evening.

The meeting, to be hosted by Finance Minister Bob Richards, will be aimed at communicating high level policy decisions Government has taken with respect to the commission’s recommendations and invite public dialogue.

The meeting is scheduled to start at 6.30pm at Pier 6 in Hamilton.

The Commission’s report was released on October 31 last year, identifying a number of challenges relating to government operations and recommended transformative measures that would result in increased efficiency and deficit reduction. The report included over 200 recommendations and observations.

“The work performed by the SAGE Commission combined with the many reviews and reports conducted by internal government agents, as well as external consultants, will form the foundation of the Public Service Reform Initiative,” a Government spokesman said.

“The Public Service Reform Initiative embraces efficiencies across a broad spectrum including the future shape and size of the Service. To this end, the Government intends to host a second public meeting to discuss the Public Bodies Reform legislation in due course.”
