In commercial business price is a reasonable gauge of value. In public / charity sector price offers you no gauge on value.

[Family Potential @ESRC_KE_Family]

In private / public sector demand and income and very different, and need to be separate.

[Family Potential @ESRC_KE_Family]

In commercial business demand is the source of income. If demand is higher than you can supply you can capitalise from it.

[Family Potential @ESRC_KE_Family]

In commercial business repeat custom is brilliant. In private/ public service repeat custom is worrying, what's happening?

[Family Potential @ESRC_KE_Family]

Demand is a different phenomenon in public services...

[Family Potential @ESRC_KE_Family]

In commercial business demand is good, more demand is a great thing. In public/charity services demand is complex.More demand is concerning.

Is it realistic to say that if you create a pubic / customer dynamic in public sector cost goes down and quality up through competition?

[Family Potential @ESRC_KE_Family]

'Price" and "Value for Money" drives individual case decisions, example of local authorities and residential care, driven by cost not need.

[Ioana Cerasella Chis @CerasellaChis]

It assumes a lack of trust; the measurement of outcomes takes away the agency of patients & children in the health and education sectors

[Ioana Cerasella Chis @CerasellaChis]

Excellent summary of the neoliberal 'standards' and the obsession w growth imposed upon voluntary sector orgs

[Family Potential @ESRC_KE_Family]

Pressure on organisations to identify where services *save* money on other services by delivering particular services.

[Family Potential @ESRC_KE_Family]

Peoples services are bombarded by some very simplistic approaches to thinking about service delivery.
