Citizen's Jury, 19-20 April 2011

• PwC and BritainThinks convened a Citizens Jury to complement the other evidence gathered by the Commission. The Jury of 24 citizens, broadly representative of the Scottish population, were recruited from all around Scotland.
• The Jury concentrated on three topics: (i) the values that should underpin public services; (ii) approaches to public service reform; and (iii) ways citizens can feel confident that money is being spent wisely.
• The report is available to download from the PwC website:
