Background to the Tayside Resource Sharing Group Sample Clauses

Background to the Tayside Resource Sharing Group. 2.1 In 2011, The Christie Commission Report warned of a need for urgent and sustained reform of Scottish Public Services with public spending not predicted to return to 2010 levels until as late as 2027. 2.2 The Scottish Government responded by stating that they would reform public services through a number of measures including, greater integration at local level via partnership, workforce development and a sharper, more transparent focus on performance, strongly suggesting that public services would have to challenge themselves to work collaboratively. 2.3 Formal Resource Sharing opportunities were initially explored in 2013 by Angus, Dundee and Perth & Kinross Councils with regard to operating Trading Standards and Environmental Health as a shared service. 2.4 A successful working example of pooled resources is the long-established Contaminated Land Resource Sharing Group, operated successfully for some time by Fife, Clackmannanshire and Perth & Kinross Councils. 2.5 It is accepted that although local authority officers carry a wealth of knowledge and experience on a wide variety of subjects, this partnership will encourage and develop shared expertise and skills to encompass all aspects of customer requirements. This approach will enhance existing levels of service delivery. 2.6 Notwithstanding the benefits of sharing officer resources, there are significant potential benefits from sharing specialist equipment, which is not only expensive to purchase initially, but is also costly to maintain. Sharing specialist equipment within the partnership can reduce equipment costs.
