The public sector is changing. We live in an extraordinarily challenging financial climate and the pressure on front line services cannot be underestimated. However, the appetite for innovation and to do things differently is unprecedented. As Essex County Council seeks to look at how we commission all our services, the opportunities for joined up working and innovation will continue to grow.
