public service remit

A public service remit refers to the responsibilities and objectives assigned to organizations that provide essential services to the public, such as healthcare, education, transportation, or public safety. It outlines their duty to deliver these services fairly, reliably, and in the public interest, often regardless of profit. The remit ensures these organizations focus on serving community needs, maintaining quality, and upholding standards, rather than solely pursuing financial gains. It provides a framework for accountability and guides their operations to ensure citizens receive vital services that support societal well-being.
