Roundtable: 5
UK Public Services: Lessons from Coronavirus
Written by UK Tech Cluster Group
The coronavirus outbreak has changed the way the world operates, which has had massive implications for the public sector. In this session, we focus on four key areas: the integration of services, inequalities in access and outcome, the relationship between local and national services, and the role of civil society—the private sector, charities, volunteers and community groups—during coronavirus.
The feedback from here is those that (those businesses) that have pivoted, are doing extremely well. Lots of the companies are serving people that are working from home and benefiting from it.
