The Christie Commission

The Christie Commission, established in 2011 in Scotland, was a review of public services aimed at improving how government and local agencies work together. It emphasized the importance of collaboration, transparency, and focusing on community needs to deliver better, more efficient public services. The commission recommended reducing bureaucracy, empowering local communities, and leveraging resources effectively, especially in the face of financial constraints. Its goal was to create a fairer, more responsive system that prioritizes prevention and early intervention to improve people’s well-being and reduce long-term costs.
