Info

It is recommended that the area of Public Service should be managed by a Minister without Portfolio who would be located within the Cabinet Office. The Office of Utilities Regulation will remain with the Cabinet Office consistent with intersectoral regulatory functions being anchored within the Cabinet Office. The Management Institute for National Development (MIND) will focus on providing training to public sector. Entities to be transferred Given the Cabinet Office’s role of general direction and control of the Government, it is best suited to manage the Strategic Human Resource functions for the Public Service. The following functions will therefore be transferred from the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service. • Public Sector Establishment Division • Compensation Unit • Pension Unit (eligibility and research) • Executive Agencies Monitoring Unit to Cabinet Office under the Performance Monitoring and Evaluation Unit Public Sector Master Rationalisation Plan 15 Recommendations for Restructuring of Ministries, Departments and Agencies PSTU: May 2011

Mission To provide quality leadership and good governance by building an inclusive, enabling environment conducive to national development through the articulation and implementation of sound policies and programmes consistent with our shared goals and values. Mandate To support the Prime Minister in providing quality leadership, strategic direction and control for an efficient, effective and economical government in the execution of his constitutional responsibilities. Current Functional Areas The OPM currently has four (4) functional areas focusing on: Planning and Development Information and Telecommunications Local Government Reform State Protocol & National Awards OPM’s portfolio currently consists of forty seven (47) subjects and thirty eight (38)Entities. Recommended Structure and Functions of the Office of the Prime Minster Rationale The Office of the Prime Minister must be strategic in its role and functions and will have only those Entities that have far reaching impact in terms of policies and programmes requiring the general oversight of the Prime Minister. The Entities placed under the portfolio of the OPM will address cross-cutting over-arching issues of national import that will impact on all Jamaicans. It is recommended, therefore, that the structure of the Office of the Prime Minister be amended to reflect three (3) broad functional areas namely: Public Sector Master Rationalisation Plan 16 Recommendations for Restructuring of Ministries, Departments and Agencies PSTU: May 2011
