Government Streamlines Web Information
Although the current government have put many services online, the decision has been made to rationalise, closing down at least 500 government websites in an effort to streamline the information and make access easier for people. Ultimately, all government information will be channelled through either Business Link or Directgov.
Directgov is a good example of the way ahead, where users have one single access point to a wide range of focussed information, rather than having to wade through a plethora of individual websites – many of which are inadequately indexed and therefore difficult or impossible to find. Almost 1000 government information sites currently exist, of which only 26 will definitely remain. 551 will be closed initially, with others expected to follow. According to a recent report, 90 websites have already been axed. Rationalising the proliferation of government websites is expected to save around £9m a year over three years. Much of the information will be transferred to Directgov and Business Link which will act as the main ‘supersites’ with just a few additional websites such as NHS Direct. Naturally the government believe the move will enable people to find the information they need quickly and easily rather than having to search through several individual sites. The first sites to be axed are as follows: • Parents Online • Supporting People Strategies Toolkit • Floor Targets Interactive • Interactive Whiteboards Catalogue • UK Man and Biosphere • Government Decontamination Service • Home Information Pack • Drinking Water Inspectorate • Civil Service Statistics www.politicaleditor.co.uk
