Public sector reform 'more than cutting staff numbers'

Reform of the public sector should not just be about achieving staff cuts, according to a human change management expert.

TV career coach John Fitzgerald said reform should "follow a clear map of what the new service could look like".

Mr Fitzgerald wants the Government to set up career clinics for people considering leaving the public sector.

The Coalition wants to cut numbers in the public sector by a further 23,500 and they want to do it without resorting to compulsory redundancies.

Mr Fitzgerald, who is the founder and MD of Harmonics, said the Government should help people make decisions about their future.
