BBC Trust launches public consultations
Delivering Quality First (DQF)
The BBC Trust has published its interim findings on DQF.
DQF is a set of proposals from the BBC Executive for changes to the services the Corporation provides and the way it operates.
The proposals are designed to implement the Trust’s strategy for the BBC and make savings to meet the new licence fee settlement.
Following a period of public consultation, the Trust has completed its initial analysis of the proposals.
The Trust’s findings focus in particular on the overall shape of the savings, and the areas it is asking the Executive to re-consider.
