Slide 25
The people of this country demand that we provide public services online and over the phone that are as good as anything they receive from the private sector.
For example we have to build upon Directgov, our flagship digital service. It is already improving people’s experience when they deal with Government on the internet and demonstrates why Departments need to work together in delivering more public services built around the needs of the citizen.
…and from the Prime Minister
