00:00This is about the Prime Minister and his government leading its government through change, his way.
00:05We are disrupting, but we're disrupting in the Keir Starmer way.
00:08This is about having very, very ambitious goals to deliver better services for people,
00:13having services that wrap around the needs of individual people
00:16in their interactions with public services and the government,
00:19but doing so in a much more efficient and effective way.
00:22That does involve a smaller, smarter state.
00:25That's what we'll deliver, but we'll deliver it by taking people with us.
00:28A smaller, smarter state does mean adapting government,
00:31and it will mean lowering the headcount in some areas,
00:34but it will also mean bringing in new digital skills as well.
00:37So we set an apprenticeship scheme up so that people who are already in the civil service
00:41can transition to the digital skills that we'll need into the future,
00:44and other people can come into the civil service on this apprenticeship route
00:48so that we can get the skills in every department that we need.
