‘The Big Nasties’ – Future spending problems for Government laid out by Public Accounts Committee Chair

Dame Meg Hillier MP today publishes the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Chair’s 8^th Annual Report.

The report focuses on three themes of recommended focus for Government:

• Long-term thinking and investment;
• Resilience; and
• Risk management and understanding.

An annex to the report lays out Dame Meg’s analysis of ‘the Big Nasties’ – a non-exhaustive list of the big spending problems for any future Government to solve, and the key costs attached.

The report is underpinned both by the cross-party Committee’s scrutiny work, and Dame Meg’s observations from thirteen years serving on the PAC.
