The Prime Minister called for reform of the British state, seeking to go further and faster on renewal, and to ensure a more active government. To support these aims, the government established the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA) as its centre of infrastructure expertise, harnessing the policy and strategy insight of the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) and the delivery specialism of the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) and bringing them together to create a new, stronger and more powerful organisation within HM Treasury capable of delivering these goals.
