Prime Minister's Delivery Unit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Prime Minister’s Delivery Unit was established in June 2001 to monitor progress on and strengthen the British Government’s capacity to deliver its key priorities across education, health, crime and transport. The Unit reports to the Prime Minister through the Head of the Civil Service (the Cabinet Secretary).
It is headed by the Prime Minister’s Chief Adviser on Delivery, who was initially Professor Michael Barber. He left in mid-2005 and was replaced by Ian Watmore, the head of the Cabinet Office Delivery and Transformation Group, in January 2006.
The Unit works in partnership with the HM Treasury, 10 Downing Street, other parts of the Cabinet Office and stakeholder departments within the Government of the United Kingdom, to assess delivery and provide performance management for the Government's top public priorities.
