Public Services

By supporting more fiscal devolution and encouraging the development of a skilled labour force and specialist institutions, we want to see a Wales with high-performing, responsive essential public services.

These public services should foster a culture of excellence and be accountable to our citizens.

Below is our latest work on how we’re making this happen. You can find a full list of our publications here.

The IWA only exists with the support of our members. Find out more about joining us to ensure that we are able to continue our work.
