This article is part of an ongoing series discussing public service productivity published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and is the first about social security Administration (SSA).
It explores the changes in the volume of output and the volume of inputs associated with government expenditure on SSA, and the productivity estimates arising from the ratio of output to inputs between 1998 and 2005, based on the best data currently available.
Also discussed is wider information like the ‘triangulation’ in the terminology of the Atkinson Report – to give more context to the productivity story shown.
