Conclusion
Deferred
On the basis of a Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General, we took evidence from the Cabinet Office and the Department for Work & Pensions, the lead department for the ‘Synergy’ shared services cluster, on government shared services.1
Government Response Summary
The government's response acknowledges a 'recommendation' (despite the committee text being a conclusion) and describes assessing strategy feasibility under different scenarios, along with negotiating a two-year contract extension for ISSC2 customer departments to ensure service continuity until October 2025, rather than addressing the committee's observation.
