Fine Gael is expected to launch plans in the coming weeks on reforming the public service to make it more accountable.
Among the proposals is the dismantling of the Health Service Executive to devolve responsibility for decisions to managers of hospitals and community care units.
The number of state agencies would also be significantly reduced and government ministers would also have to sign service agreements.
Fine Gael's Enterprise Spokesman Richard Bruton said redundancies would also be sought, initially through re-deployment and voluntary redundancies but departments would have to prove themselves.
Meanwhile, FG Finance Spokesman Michael Noonan said he will be given a full briefing on the forthcoming Budget tomorrow morning by officials at the Department of Finance.
Speaking on RTÉ Radio, Mr Noonan said he hopes officials will provide all of the necessary information on the economic situation.
Last night, the party indicated that it is set to support the objectives of the Government's four-year economic strategy.
Speaking at the Dublin Economics Workshop in Kenmare, Co Kerry, Leo Varadkar said Fine Gael favoured a deficit reduction plan that is three parts spending cuts and one part tax increases.
Mr Varadkar said while the party backed the Government’s plan, it will not be bound by any specific details it contains.
He said as a principle the party was talking about a three to one division in terms of cuts in public expenditure and new taxes and for every €3 the party intends to save, there would be €1 in tax increases.
The Fine Gael Deputy says that roughly equates to €7.7bn in spending cuts over four years and €2.5- €3bn for the Exchequer in new taxes over the same period.
The move signals a growing divergence of strategy by the main opposition parties.
