Government chief operating officer Stephen Kelly has promised that the government will aim to be ahead of schedule against its newly launched plan for ‘next generation shared services.’

Kelly, who is senior responsible owner (SRO) for the shared services programme, told Government Computing that aspirations to enable savings of £400-£600m each year are achievable, but he admitted that they will not be achieved in the first couple of years.
