There is a system of accountability in place. It is a matter for each Minister working with the Secretary General of the Department to agree the strategy and business plan for the Department for the year ahead and then, on an ongoing basis, to monitor performance and discuss the achievement of the milestones set out. This is certainly the basis on which I operate and run my Department. It is in a spirit of collaboration. We all expect the highest standards of performance from the people sitting at the top of the Civil Service in our respective Departments. I certainly do and I certainly get that performance also.
