Scotland's Digital Future - Delivery of Public Services

Section Eight: Governance

We have in place a Digital Public Services National Board to drive, guide and monitor implementation of this strategy. This National Board is supported by sectoral boards and a national Technical and Design Board, as set out in Annex A.

Programme management arrangements will be put in place for the set of national projects, overseen by a programme board. Project boards will be put in place to deliver against major national actions, as is already the case for SWAN. Sector boards will take a similar approach.

The National Board, working with and through the sector boards, will be responsible for driving action to implement this strategy and for reporting on progress. In this it will be informed by data on:

• the experience of the people of Scotland in engaging with digital public services
• progress made in more effective use of deploying ICT and the ICT workforce and cost savings made

This National Board will report to the Cabinet Sub Committee for Public Service Reform, which in turn will update the Cabinet Sub Committee for Digital.
