public bodies

Public bodies are organizations created by government to deliver public services or perform specific functions, such as local councils, health authorities, or regulatory agencies. They are funded by taxpayers and operate within a legal framework to serve the community’s interests, often making decisions and managing resources to improve public welfare. While they are independent in their day-to-day operations, they remain accountable to government authorities and the public. Their role is essential in ensuring services like education, healthcare, transportation, and safety are accessible and effectively managed for everyone.
