Sheffield’s comprehensive spending review• Data for the eight English Core

Cities• Work undertaken by New

Economy Manchester• City level data (ie. not SCR)• 300+ budget lines covering all

revenue and capital spend in 2012/13

Core Cities:

£37.3bn spending

£26.2bn city resident tax contribution

Understanding our spending: CSR Sheffield

• Sheffield spends around £4.5bn of public money each year• SCC (including schools budget), the health service and DWP are

responsible for the largest areas of spend

Understanding our spending: CSR Sheffield

80% of public investment in Sheffield is consumed by just 29 specific budget lines • welfare (e.g. the State Pension, tax credits, Disability Living Allowance); • education (e.g. primary schools, secondary schools); and • health and social care (e.g. non-elective care, primary care, community care, secondary outpatient

care)

CSR: what does this tool enable us to do?• Identify priorities themes and areas for public service reform

activity• Assess whether current spend is:

– Effective at achieving outcomes– Fragmented by agencies seeking the same goals

• Our aim is to supplement the CSR dataset with:– Enhanced analysis - assess the proportion of each budget line that is

proactive or reactive spend (ie. prevention vs. palliative)– Outcome-based analysis - more detailed assessment of Sheffield’s spend

based on our City Outcomes, building in cross-sector knowledge and expertise.

– City Performance Framework - develop a performance framework to support the City Outcomes

– Outcome development workshops – use the CSR to support the development of clear proposals for public service reform as part of a Sheffield ‘Growth and Reform Plan’

We need to better understand how we invest public money in these outcomes – and are our investments effective?

We need to enhance this work and understand whether these investments are delivering outcomes effectively for the city and whether PSR could help us deliver better results for Sheffield.

Initial analysis suggests that we invest most money in:• long, healthy lives• highly educated,

skilled and prosperous people

• happy and thriving people
