Amharc ar fhreagraThere are no plans to set up a consultancy division in my department. However, over recent years, the Business Consulting Unit in my department has been providing advice to public service organisations in the areas of business process improvement, service delivery and organisational development. Expert advice is also provided within the public service by the Office of Government Procurement, to assist public bodies in getting the best value in procurement.
