Given the nature of my Department's functions and small size, there is not significant scope for the use of external service delivery outside of shared services initiatives already in place or being progressed.

My Department already makes use of shared services in the areas of payroll, finance, IT, library and security services as well as participating in current civil service wide initiatives such as the HR Shared Services project and the Payroll Shared Services.

My Department will also work with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform on any relevant external delivery service initiatives as part of the overall public service reform programme.
