The Government have suggested 45 ways of improving efficiency, avoiding duplication, saving money, and making online services more attractive.
The ideas in “Supporting Public Service Reform: eGovernment 2012-2015″, will be assessed for online suitability. However, there are no specific time lines for the introduction of individual online projects.
The renewal of adult passports, welfare benefits and entitlement applications are all being considered.
The Government will also look into improving electronic mechanisms involving company incorporation, relevant contracts, tax and business reporting for corporation tax.
More services will be made available on smart phones and social media, and the strategy says Government departments should publish more data in machine readable formats to make it easier for customers to access and use information.
