Queen’s Speech opens up social enterprise….

May 28, 2010

The Queen’s Speech on the 25th May 2010 laying out the new Coalition Government’s Programme has confirmed the opening up of social enterprise type models to run former in-house services.   The following was outlined:-

“The role of Social Enterprise, Charities and Co-operatives in our public services will be enhanced….they reach and engage communities, understand need and pioneer new approaches, which have a social, environement impact….Where appropriate, public services markets will be opened up to allow social enterprise, charities and co-operatives to bid to run public services.  Barriers to involvement will be identified and measures implemented.”

This confirms the pace of in house service transfers into new legal entities is set to continue to both protect front line services and reduce non-direct costs.
