Note for Editors
Public Consultation on Our Public Service 2020: Development and Innovation Framework
The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform is now progressing a successor to the 2014-2016 Reform Plan entitled Our Public Service 2020, which is framed around the three pillars listed above. It is anticipated that this third Plan will be launched in November 2017, so the public consultation will run until 4th of September 2017. The benefits of this approach include better public transparency around the consultation process, and the ability to allow stakeholders to comment on other submissions.
