I wish to thank the Deputy for the question.

The Programme for Government does not contain any commitments concerning the establishment of a new oversight body for the Public Service.

The Deputy may wish to note that, in 2014, the Civil Service Management Board (comprised of secretaries general of government departments) was established to oversee the implementation of the ongoing change programme across the Civil Service.

Similarly, the Public Service Leadership Board (comprised of a mix of secretaries general and chief executives/directors general of public service bodies) was established in 2018 to provide leadership across the wider public service for the public service innovation and development programme.
