Two short films have been posted on the site under the username publicservice. The first one is a promotional film, which explains the ‘transformational government’ strategy. The second, longer, film concerns how the government plans to reduce spending by consolidating service departments and the subsequent challenges faced by managers.

Ian Dunmore, director of Public Sector Forums, commented, this looks like the first time a government anywhere has used YouTube in this way. However we don’t expect the videos to surge to the top of the popularity chart just yet.
