Under the previous Government, the Cabinet Committee on Social Affairs and Public Services oversaw the implementation of Programme for Government commitments in the areas of social policy and public services.

The last meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Social Affairs was on 8 July 2024. Following the formation of the new Government in January, the Cabinet Committee on Justice, Migration and Social Affairs was established and will oversee some of the same social policy areas that were previously overseen by the former Cabinet Committee on Social Affairs and Public Services.
