Q&A
Q. What is the Total Place Network?
A. A group of 100+ people from central government, local government, the NHS, police, academia, think tanks and consultancies. Anyone whose work is relevant to Total Place or whose organisation might benefit from it may be a member, in their personal capacity not as a representative.
Q. What is the network’s purpose?
A. Encourage and support Total Place to secure better local outcomes and cost savings, including the relevant local implementation of national missions.
Q. Who runs the network?
A. The intention is that it will be run by a committee chosen by its members.
Q. What is the cost and commitment of membership?
A. Nil and whatever a member wants it to be.
Q. What will the network do?
A. Assemble, grow and curate a body of Total Place practical knowledge; promote local initiative; advise and support as requested any organisation which may wish to proceed; make the case to central government for evolving the national/local relationship to enable Total Place.
Q. How does the Network relate to central government intentions?
A. Total Place promotes co-operation across organisational boundaries, experimentation and learning, cost discipline and the fuller involvement of communities. It therefore complements the intent of devolution, the local realisation of national missions, the Cabinet Office’s ‘test, learn and grow’ programme and ministers’ declared aim of more adventurous and dynamic public services.
Q. What are the immediate tasks?
A. Develop the list of central government ‘quick wins’; build three generic Total Place engagements to be made bespoke for a particular locality; put the case to the Cabinet Office for how public service renewal might best proceed
Q. Will the network trade?
A. No. It may signpost inquirers to appropriate paid advisers.
Q. Is the network a politically-affiliated organisation?
A. No.
Q. Is the network a think tank or lobby?
A. No. It will draw on the research, reports and recommendations of think tanks and it will make the case to government for changes to the system and to how the centre works, but its purpose is practical implementation.
