Answer
Significant work has been done on reforms recommended by the Renewable Heat Incentive Inquiry. The Department of Finance has published an update of the implementation of the recommendations of the RHI Inquiry on the departmental website which can be viewed here.
Action has been taken and tangible outputs can be demonstrated. The lessons from the Inquiry, along with the recommendations of the Public Accounts Committee and other external reviews into the Civil Service, have formed the basis for a longer-term body of work to ensure the service is able to fulfil its functions to the highest standard.
A sub-group of the NICS board has been established to put in place a one-year (2024/2025) people plan and to lead the development of a 2025-2030 People and Transformation Strategy. This five-year strategy will align with the Programme for Government and support the people, organisational, leadership and change priorities for the future in a focused and coordinated way.
