Ministers are planning to cut over 10,000 civil service jobs due to a new efficiency drive, acknowledging that the civil service has grown too large.
Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden emphasized the need for the civil service to be more productive and potentially operate like a startup to improve efficiency.
Departments are facing a 5% budget cut, making job cuts inevitable, as civil service headcount has expanded significantly since 2016 due to various demands.
Sources indicated that the new government has abandoned previous targets for civil service job cuts, yet still anticipates significant layoffs in the coming months.
