What's on offer?

The University of Glasgow’s Centre for Public Policy invites you to join a panel discussion exploring Scotland’s progress towards public service reform.

What's it about?

There's too much month left at the end of money, is a sentiment long felt by families across the country. Now it's one faced by Governments across the UK as they grapple with rising debt alongside growing demand for key public services. Meanwhile, inequality remains stubbornly high, and levels of deep poverty are worsening. How do you tackle the cost of living crisis with so little money to spend?

Who's leading the event?

Chaired by Kezia Dugdale, featuring Angela O'Hagan (Scottish Human Rights Commission) and Dr Claire Macrae.
