Departmental Coordination

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 14 January 2025UIN 22307

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the policy paper entitled Plan for Change, published on 5 December 2024, CP1210, whether the Government has implemented a formal reporting framework to hold individual (a) Secretaries of State and (b) Director Generals accountable for the delivery of cross-departmental Plan for Change milestones.

Answered by Ellie Reeves

The Plan for Change sets out clear, ambitious milestones for change that we aim to reach by the end of this Parliament.

The Prime Minister meets regularly with the Secretaries of State in charge in order to hold them to account for the delivery of the Government’s priorities.

Each of the five missions has a Director General as the Senior Responsible Officer (SRO).
