Public ownership alone is inadequate. A new public investment infrastructure model is required together with radical public management with the capability and capacity to plan, design, finance and manage schools, hospitals and other public buildings through public investment. It will focus on service innovation, integration, improvement and early intervention. The continuous involvement of service users, community and civil society organisations, staff and trade unions will be critically important to ensure public service principles and values replace the discredited and failed neoliberal public management.
