Action 20 of the Civil Service Renewal Plan, which is overseen by the Civil Service Management Board, provides for a programme of organisational reviews to embed a culture of regular and objective assessments of the capacity and capability of each Department to achieve its objectives, and take the necessary action to close any gaps.

An Organisational Capability Review of my Department is being conducted by the Organisational Capability Review team which is based in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.

The review involves engagement with Departmental staff, which is curently underway, and with key stakeholders in the policy and operational domains of the Department. The report arising from the Review, and an action plan to address recommendations made, will be brought to Government and to the Civil Service Management Board, and will then be published.
