As I outlined in response to Mr Gaston, a process took place between the Executive Office and NICS HR in my Department to understand the role that the individual would be required to undertake and the responsibility of the post.

The Executive Office submitted the vacancy to NICS HR. It will have included the role and responsibilities of the post in the funding and headcount form that it is required to complete. Further discussions then took place between HR and the Executive Office to finalise and agree the post, including its roles and…

Providing £59,000 a year to fund a post that deals with divergence between Great Britain and Northern Ireland makes a mockery of the claims that the Irish Sea border has gone. Does the remit of the employee include monitoring the cost to businesses of severing our links with the rest of the United Kingdom?

The board was set up on an interim basis while we considered interim terms of reference. That work is ongoing, and I hope to see progress on it shortly. The transformation funding is structured on the basis of £47 million each year over five years. There will be further opportunities for Departments to bid for that. I…

If and when the public-sector transformation board is made permanent, will Departments have a further opportunity to submit new bids, given that the initial window of time was very short?

It is my ambition that this approach to transformation will help to drive innovative thinking in Departments to help our services become more sustainable and efficient. That is why the public-sector transformation board encouraged Departments to bring forward more novel proposals and outlined in its initial call that…

The role of the interim board, as agreed by the Executive, is to filter proposals that have been put forward by Departments. It moves forward those that it considers transformative and removes those that are not. That is the basis on which officials provide advice to Ministers on a range of issues. The final decision…

Minister, your answer to Mr Brett threw up more questions. You said that the decisions have not been taken, but, if projects and bids are being taken off the table by the board — by the way, the board includes the permanent secretary of the Northern Ireland Office, which is pretty dubious when it comes to devolution —…

The Executive will decide which proposals are to be funded on the basis of my recommendations. The role of the board is to provide advice to inform those decisions, not to take the decisions. The board is working under a clear direction and criteria set and agreed by the Executive to assess and determine what…

Thank you, Minister, for the update. I agree that the role of the board is to advise, but does the Minister have concerns about the decision by the public-sector transformation board to streamline the 47 bids that were received down to the 29 that reached your desk, meaning that 18 projects were not taken forward to…

Mr Speaker, with your permission, I will group questions 1 and 15. As the Member will be aware, I have already established and appointed members to the interim public-sector transformation board.

I thank the Minister for giving way. I welcome the reassurances that it is not a school-based programme, and we received those reassurances from your officials at Committee as well. Does the Minister accept, however, that publishing a list of schools has created confusion and a misunderstanding of how the programme…

Thank you. In any other forum at any other time, I would have thought it uncontentious to say that the best way to tackle educational underachievement is to tackle educational underachievement. Not so in this House, it seems. Instead, there is much focus on hyperbole and unfounded assertions. When we have objective…

The Minister has failed to explain his rationale for using new methodologies to define, identify and measure deprivation and educational underachievement. Under the new RAISE indicators, we see grammar and fee-paying schools in the lists of those eligible for funding. It is notable that the indicative list of eligible…

I welcome the RAISE programme. Educational underachievement is a serious challenge for Northern Ireland, and it is correct that the Department is taking steps to tackle it. The substantial funding that has been set aside for the programme is appropriate. The RAISE programme is an important step on the road to raising…
