A jigsaw with fewer pieces?

There’s a sentence in the English devolution White Paper that hasn’t garnered a lot of attention: Over the long term, the government is announcing an ambition to align public service boundaries, including job centres, police, probation, fire, health services and Strategic and Local Authorities. Good luck to whoever takes on that messy job, but well worthwhile in hugely simplifying partnership working. Savings right away in that most expensive heading, senior management time. While you’re at it, maybe parliamentary constituencies too?
