Too much to list on here. There needs to be a line-by-line approach to budgets in every government department. The amount of waste and even simply unnecessary expenditure is staggering.

Once that exercise is completed, the government could then turn its attention to making our services fit for the current century. Merging adult social care and NHS care has already started, but using technology to treat more people at home using new technology rather than take up hospital beds is one example of how billions could be saved.
