To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking to advance the Christie Commission’s principles to improve public service delivery.
The Scottish Government remains firmly committed to the principles set out by the Christie Commission.
Our Public Service Reform Strategy: Delivering for Scotland, published in June 2025, sets out a comprehensive and ambitious programme to embed these principles across the public sector. The Strategy addresses long-standing systemic barriers to reform and sets out action to deliver more efficient, joined-up, person-centred services, with a clear emphasis on prevention and empowering communities.
This approach is rooted in the Christie Commission’s vision and is essential to ensuring Scotland’s public services remain sustainable, high quality and responsive to the needs of the people they serve.
