Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Public Service Performance Report 2022

Ms Caroline O'Loughlin:

As we said, we only have responsibility for the format and then we provide guidance to the Departments when there. Ultimately, however, the Departments have to retain ownership of what metrics they select.

Having said that, we see that a committee will say to a Department, or to us, that it would be very helpful to the work of the committee to have certain information. Indeed, the Deputy said to us a couple of years ago that targets were not included in the report. We took that on board for the next year and we now include the targets. We have gone so far as to include the little bar in the report so that it is very clear.
