Prime Minister David Cameron speaking at the Centre for Social Justice, October 2012
Speaking at the Centre for Social Justice in October 2012 Prime Minister David Cameron announced a radical acceleration of privatisation across the justice system. He said: “With payment by results, your money goes into what works: prisoners going straight, crime coming down, our country getting safer. It’s such a good idea I want to put rocket boosters under it.”
Today’s report by the National Audit Office (NAO) reveals that the government is not even monitoring whether payment by results works, and explodes the myth that it is a magic bullet solution to intractable social problems.
