My Department is delivering on a challenging reform agenda and continued to expand during 2014 both geographically and operationally with the establishment and further development of Shared Services Offices, the Office of Government Procurement and the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer. The majority of staff who joined my Department last year were existing civil and public servants.
The Office of Public Works were unable to provide a response in the time permitted but have assured me that they will respond directly to you shortly.
