Productivity and Efficiency Plan

The National Framework requires combined and metropolitan Fire & Rescue Authorities (FRAs) to produce and publish Efficiency Plans. For 2024/25, all FRAs must produce plans for increasing productivity- not just creating efficiency.

As part of the ongoing government spending review, the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) and the Local Government Association (LGA) agreed that between 2021/22 and 2024/25, Fire and Rescue Services in England will create non-pay efficiency savings of 2% and increase productivity by 3%.

Fire Productivity and Efficiency Plans (P&E Plans) will help the NFCC, LGA and Home Office to collate evidence and assess progress against the agreed targets nationally.

This plan explains how Norfolk Fire & Rescue Service will deliver these efficiencies and increase productivity against national targets, ensure a balanced budget and deliver value for money. It also includes a review of achievements against our 2023/24 plan. This plan should also be considered alongside other strategic documents
