There’s going to be a major overhaul in the way the Government contracts social services. 

The Government's announcing what it calls outcomes contracts in a bid to deliver results, but also scrap initiatives that are not working. 

It's also working on a Social Investment Fund, soon to be spearheaded by social investment secretary and former Police Commissioner Andrew Coster. 

Social Investment Minister Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking there are often multiple contracts coming from different agencies. 

She says they're spending hours filling in forms and doing what she calls “administrative bureaucracy”.
