Details

In December, the department delivered its initial response to the Redmond Review. The report set out proposed actions to implement the majority of Sir Tony’s recommendations and also made a commitment to provide a full response in the Spring on the options for systems leadership, after further consideration.

This report fulfils that commitment, details the actions already taken to implement the Redmond Review recommendations, and also sets out our thinking on the recommendations relating to systems leadership.
