More effective social services at a glance

This is a summary diagram the 2015 Productivity Commission report, More effective social services, that looked into social service provision in New Zealand, asking why – despite the hard work and commitment of service providers – social services were not always improving the lives of people. Themes covered by the report include the need for better commissioning, using data to learn and improve services, how services perform for Māori, and how change might be implemented.
