Public body deep dives

We look at how specific public bodies are configured, how they are performing, and what problems they face.

As part of our work on public bodies, we look at the structure of individual organisations, primarily focusing on their governance and accountability arrangements. We analyse how government has worked through public bodies to deliver its objectives and how this process could be improved. 

We also look at how public bodies are performing – including in response to topical issues as they arise.
