Cayman reviews Public Sector Spending
The government of the Cayman Islands has announced that a comprehensive public service review will be launched in the middle of December. All government services, including those delivered by government companies and statutory authorities, will be scrutinized by review teams.
The 1st 4 government agencies that will be assessed are as follows:
Her Majesty’s Prison Service,
the Department of Tourism,
Public Works,
Cayman Islands National Insurance Company.
In order to form 4 Review Teams, 17 civil servants have been selected. Also, the private sector has been asked to provide support for the teams. The Teams are to be trained and developed by an external trainer. In January 2010, reports on the findings of the reviews are to be delivered.
This review is part of an agreement between the Cayman Government and the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office and it follows the approval of Cayman’s borrowing request earlier in 2009.
