Tories plan ‘right to request’ across
public sector
The shadow chancellor, George Osborne, announced today a Tory plan to enable public
sector staff to set up social enterprises to deliver public services. The right
to request to set up a social enterprise already exists for frontline NHS staff
and the Conservative Party believes this approach can be expanded. George Osborne
announced:
“The essential principle that people in the public sector, whether they are community
nursing teams, primary schools, job centres, would be able to take ownership of
their own enterprise and run it as a non-for-profit social enterprise or co-operative
providing state services is exactly what we are talking about.”
