The findings and recommendations in the Report of the independent Local Government Efficiency Review Group, published in mid July, are being considered by me and by Government in the appropriate policy and financial contexts.

As recommended in the Report, I propose to establish an implementation group with an independent chairperson to oversee implementation of relevant recommendations.
