Cabinet Office minister Georgia Gould advocates for transforming the Whitehall civil service to better connect with public needs and services. This change aligns with Keir Starmer's missions to decentralize civil service operations, moving jobs out of London to cities like Leeds, Sheffield, and Darlington. The plan emphasizes collaboration between civil servants and frontline workers to create policies that address community issues, aiming for 50% of senior positions to be based outside London within five years. Gould stresses the urgency for civil servants to work closely with local services to bridge gaps in policy-making and operational roles.
