As part of the Government's eGovernment Strategy 2017- 2020 the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO), within my Department, has been working on the development of a Digital Services Gateway - a single digital point where citizens can easily access information about Government services that are available to them. This work, which began earlier this year, is ongoing and will involve the rationalisation of existing Government websites and online services over time. This project will be managed and developed by resources within the civil service.
