The Efficiency and Reform Group (ERG), established in 2010, was part of the Cabinet Office which worked in partnership with HM Treasury to form the corporate centre for UK Government.[1] Its objectives were to reform the way government works and to support the transformation of government services by driving cost savings and focusing on growth.[2]
ERG worked collaboratively with government departments to identify common areas for savings. It aimed to help government departments to deliver at least £20bn of efficiencies in the financial year 2014–15.[3]
The ERG was dissolved in October 2014 as part of the Public bodies transformation programme.[4]
