SOLACE and CIPFA have produced an update to their major report After the Downturn. The report, which was published immediately following the Pre-Budget Report in December 2009, explored both the scale of spending reductions required to rebalance the UK public finances and the strategies available to Government and public service organisations to deal with them. This new briefing updates the economic analysis in the light of the 2010 Budget Statement, and revisits and confirms the continuing relevance of After the Downturn’s conclusions. In particular, very significant decisions about cuts in public spending will need to be made following the General Election.
