Editor's Notes
- a common ICT Infrastructure will provide the platform that will enable the delivery of better and cheaper public services for all delivered by a diverse range of providers. The Government will: Use ICT to deliver more agile, personalised and responsive services; Enable democratic power shift using digital channels; Open up public sector provision; Exploit ICT to increase collaborative and mobile public sector working; and Horizon-scan to identify changes in technology and assess associated opportunities and risks Let us describe what this means and why it is important
- Citizens’ expectations have shifted from traditional face-to-face, telephone or paper channels to more responsive 24/7 online personalised services. Easy to use, trusted and flexible online transactional services, such as student loans, Job Seekers Allowance or road tax, will reduce the bureaucratic and time burden on citizens. Directgov will become the single domain for citizens to access public services and government information. The Government will work to make citizen-focused transactional services digital by default. invite third parties to build new applications and tools to integrate services and content. This approach will make transactions between citizens and Government simpler and easier.
- The Government is committed to raising the aspirations of citizens, and there is growing evidence of the digital channels and social media enabling those of all ages and social backgrounds to have access to the services and opportunities that they seek. For example easy to access information enables citizens to make informed choices and increase their social mobility: from performance reports on schools e-learning opportunities job vacancies Through opening up a wealth of knowledge and information via eLearning, publication of data and online communities, citizens will be able to make informed choices and take charge of their lives. By enhancing citizens’ skills, employability and community participation, Government will provide new opportunities for all. For those where the internet and social media is less accessible (for example some sections of the elderly or the disadvantaged) the Government is committed to opening up a network of “assisted digital” providers - Post Offices, libraries and on-line centres, retail businesses and community organisations.
- Transparency will increase Government’s accountability to citizens and open the market from which ICT solutions are sourced. Modern, knowledge-based service delivery underpinned by effective information architecture and open standards will support Government build more transparent, trusted and efficient information exchange processes. Government will develop an information strategy that is supported by a Standards and Architecture Framework which will underpin the design of Government’s new information systems. To deliver modern public services, Government must provide a technology environment that is flexible and usable across a wide delivery network. Opening up the delivery channels of Government will require that we share systems with a new range of stakeholders and agencies, whilst ensuring the security of data.
