Government and the regulators have failed to drive sufficient investment in the water sector.

Unprecedented investment is now needed to urgently address low consumer trust, and poor environmental and financial performance.

Delays mean the New Hospital Programme will deliver 32 new hospitals by 2030, not 40 as the government announced in 2020.

The other 8 will follow after 2030.

Report director @TSJPhillips discusses our key findings on this programme 👇

Today marks 39 years since the roof of the South Transept suffered almost total devastation in 1984 when a lightning bolt struck sparking a fire. Our historic Rose Window cracked into 40,000 fragments due to the heat.
Do you remember the fire? Let us know in the comments 👇

Mike Newbury, our director for local audit code and guidance, has written a piece for The Municipal Journal on the state of local audit - and how all organisations involved need to work together urgently to put things right as quickly as possible.

Despite increased spending and staff numbers, NHS productivity has fallen since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

For all A&E departments, the NHS last met its target of 95% of patients processed within four hours in July 2015.

Our latest @NAOorguk report reviews how well-placed government is to understand and tackle #fraud and corruption across government and sets out insights from our work ⤵️

[National Audit Office @NAOorguk]

Few parts of government - tax and welfare aside - have undertaken robust assessments of the level of fraud & corruption affecting their organisation.

Even without quantifying the risk, 27% look like they are under-investing in counter-fraud measures.

[Joshua Reddaway @ReddawayJoshua]

Our report out today on Tackling fraud and corruption against government finds that most public bodies do not know how much fraud they face and cannot demonstrate that they have the correct level of counter-fraud resources.

Latest @NAOorguk report on #HS2 ⤵️

[National Audit Office @NAOorguk]

Our report finds that the 10-platform #HS2 Euston design would cost £4.8bn; more expensive than the original 11-platform design, and £2.2bn over the available budget.

Government needs to develop a design that's affordable, deliverable, & value for money.

https://t.co/8H5zNE3Kx9

[National Audit Office @NAOorguk]

The #HS2 Euston station is unaffordable, and @HS2ltd and @transportgovuk need to look again at the design.

Our report urges the Government to put the project on a more realistic and stable footing.

[Public Accounts Committee @CommonsPAC]

Many of you have asked us:

"Where did the #taxpayers' £££BILLIONS 💷💷💷 allocated #TestandTrace go?"

Well today at *330pm* we're asking @DHSCgovuk & @UKHSA exactly that, as well as about the £14.9 BN💷 we already know was lost to unusable #PPE, #vaccines & anti-virals
