How do the current government reforms compare to past attempts at public sector reform in the UK?

These reforms are driven by a dire economic outlook and Labour's substantial parliamentary majority. The government believes that these changes are necessary to improve efficiency and productivity within the public sector, aiming to address issues such as declining public sector productivity (8.6 percent lower than pre-pandemic levels) and rising civil service salary costs (from £11.4 billion in 2013 to £16.6 billion in 2022). This mirrors similar reforms undertaken by Margaret Thatcher's government.
