The UK Centre for the Measurement of Government Activity (UKCeMGA) contributes to the accountability of government by providing statistics and analysis about change over time in the inputs, output and productivity of government funded services. This includes measuring change over time in the quality of public services. We achieve this by publishing estimates of public service output and productivity and by delivery of output data which feed into National Accounts.

Our work is underpinned by a variety of methods and data sources, which we seek to improve in order to maintain and improve quality of our statistical outputs. UKCeMGA also contributes analysis of public services to wider analytical programmes within the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

We also lead a major research programme, the Measuring Outomes for Public Service Users (MOPSU) project. The overall aims of the project are to develop new, and explore existing, measures of outcome to aid the commissioning and procurement of services, placing the issues of quality and value for money at the heart of the decision-making process, and to examine the extent to which the third sector is involved in public service delivery.
