UNISON's
manifesto for Scotland's public services
Conclusion
Scotland has begun the process of developing its own public
service model. In continuing to develop we should aspire to excellence.We
must look outward in our search for inspiration. Other small states
have much to teach us but public services should be based on an
ethos and principles that are embedded in Scottish culture not
markets. The key to this approach is a belief that we should be
treated as partners who have a real say in shaping our public
services. If we are citizens not consumers exploited for private
profit, then Scotland can be a world leader in public service
provision.
UNISON's Revitalise principles are:
Democracy |
-
accountability and the meaningful involvement of users and
staff, rather than markets, will provide the services the
public want. |
Investment |
-
essential not only to overcome past shortages but to fund
ongoing innovation. |
Fairness |
-
essential to build a fairer society both in the delivery of
services and as a model employer. |
Excellence |
-
should be the aim of all Scotland's public services. We should
be the country others look to, to see what can be achieved.
|
Partnership |
-
creating the joined up working essential to face up to the
complex challenges Scotland faces with out costly and disruptive
reorganisation. |
Scotland's Parliament is judged on the delivery of Scotland's
public services. We need our parliament to
top |
