Theme: Public services benchmarking and external performance assessment: an international perspective

New development: All change? Performance assessment regimes in UK local government

Pages 277-280 | Published online: 13 May 2013
 

Abstract

Contrasting approaches to assessing the performance of public services highlight important issues for policy-makers and future research. We need systematic comparisons between countries. We should use a broader range of evidence. The public ought to have a greater role in designing performance criteria, and we need to know more about the impacts of assessments.
