In the inaugural episode of Negotiating Government, the podcast from Negotient, hosts David Gauke (Chair of Negotient and former HM Treasury and Cabinet minister) and John Hall (former HM Treasury Health Spending Team leader and former Department of Health Strategy Director) draw on their extensive backgrounds in Government to reflect on what the Spring Statement means for the approach HM Treasury will take to the Spending Review – and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for those involved in negotiations with the UK public sector.
David and John explore the current state of the UK's public finances, the impact of fiscal rules, the balance between capital and current spending and the importance of innovation and efficiency in public services. They also touch upon the potential impacts of US Government policy both for UK public finances and for Government's plans to create a stable business environment. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of government negotiations and how to navigate them effectively.
