What will 2007 hold for the public sector

I am not fan of the Times but this week it carried an interesting brief article on “What the year will hold for the public sector”.

Personally I believe that as well as the huge and obvious issue of the NHS, social housing will be a big issue in 2007: the birth of Communities England out of the Housing Corporation and English Partnerships (and maybe the death of Communities Scotland if the SNP win the May elections); the Cave report on regulation and the Hills report on social housing; the ongoing issues of affordability and shortage etc.

At least housing isn’t being forgotten.
