UK chief auditor ‘open to learning’ from Musk | Public finance

The UK’s chief auditor said that he was open to learning from the “Ministry of Governmental efficiency” from Elon Musk, where he gave a warning letter that NHS Special educational needs financing systems have become unclean.
Gareth Davis, who is leading the National Auditing Office (NAO), said his organization was looking into international comparisons while examining the White Hall sections.
He was asked if he was closely watched The new Musk section, known as DogWhich was launched during the reign of Donald Trump to reduce spending, Davis said he would have been “open to learning from anything.”
“It is clear, yes. Let’s see what is happening and what we learn from it.” “If it is possible to offer very large savings while providing government priorities, then we will be interested in how to do this.”
Musk at the Trump gathering in New York last month suggested that it would be possible to reduce “at least $ 2 million” of spending on the US government by eliminating waste.
NAO does not have an executive role, but it examines government spending and highlights the fields of waste, as Davis highlights 3 billion pounds from the annual savings that came from the recommendations of the International Energy Agency.
Davis, a public financial observer, said that delivering his annual speech in Parliament, that the public sector as a whole suffers from poor productivity, and highlighted the need for basic reform in the face of increased demand and costs in addition to non -satisfactory results.
He has made clear that artificial intelligence should be “truly at the top of the agenda” when it comes to improving productivity, with “a clear possibility to reduce the time taken for routine tasks.”
Davis also said that “the situation is an urgent matter” when it comes to the spending areas that have grown significantly in recent years.
A series of NAO reports concluded that the systems have become unusual. I think NHS’s request exceeds the country’s ability to finance it in the current way, as the budget for special education needs has now multiplied, without doubling anything like the quality of the results. Therefore, only if you start to accommodate these unusual financial frameworks clearly, it is clear that we have to do something. “

Besides productivity, Davis said it is very important for the UK to become more popular and flexible.
“Flexibility is a word that appears again and again in our work, especially since the epidemic,” he said. “We have a lot of evidence that money is lost and that services for citizens are at risk when we are not ready for what is now increasingly possible events, whether these epidemics, harsh weather or electronic attacks.
“All this evidence indicates the same thing: we need to be more willing at the national and local levels, to obtain proper risk management in place; and to be ready to adapt to new information and events quickly and effectively.”
A government spokesman said: “Artificial intelligence has huge potential to transform public services, and many of our public sector depends on old digital infrastructure. And fixing the foundations of their infrastructure to ensure elasticity and safeness-this includes GOV.UK and artificial intelligence tools that simplify administrative operations, enhance decisions and increase productivity through departments.
