This is the latest in our series of posts on the Spending Review with Reform. A list

On Friday, Norfolk’s public service leaders gathered at a summit organised by Norman Lamb, MP for North Norfolk and Parliamentary and Political Advisor to the Deputy Prime Minister, to
discuss the region’s preparation for the upcoming Spending Review. The meeting of MPs, council leaders, NHS and police representatives, as well as a number of external organisations such as
Reform, was intended as a first step towards a regional solution to the expected 25 per cent cuts to Norfolk’s annual £7 billion total public spend.
The immediacy of the Spending Review created a broad acceptance of the need to, as Norman Lamb put it, “think afresh about how the money might be spent”.
