Performing ‘Performance’—A Comedy in Five Acts

Colin Talbot

Public Money & Management, 2000, vol. 20, issue 4, 63-68

Abstract: The public service in the United Kingdom is awash with performance data. From the ubiquitous league tables for schools, local authorities and police services, through key performance indicators for civil service agencies right up to Government-level Public Service Agreements, the number of published performance data sets probably now reaches five figures annually. The author discusses some of the aspects of being what are probably the most ‘performance-reported’ public services in the world.
