Mr. David Moloney:

I chair the public sector leadership board, which comprises the Secretaries General of a number of Departments and the heads of the main agencies that fall under the remit of those Departments, namely, the Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces, the Garda Commissioner, the chief executive officer of the HSE, etc. The board meets on a regular basis - three to four times per year - and seeks to further the actions in the public service reform programme. It has a particular focus on equality, diversion and inclusion, EDI, initiatives across the public service, for example, and developing a toolkit for organisations with which they can address EDI policies. It has only been established since 2018 or 2019. It is a forum in which we hope to drive many of the things the Chairman talked about such as good practice and shared learning throughout the civil and public service.
