Cabinet Office

 

The Cabinet Office

The cabinet office supports the prime minister and the government to create the mechanisms needed to run the government.

Cabinet ministers lead on their portfolios.  To do this effectively, given that they are also not likely to be experts in the field they are working in, the cabinet office will support them to work effectively with the Civil Service.  Part of this will be to provide good administrative support.  The second part will be to ensure that the Cabinet has good access to very well qualified personnel across society.  These will largely be unpaid advisors, but where payment is likely to able poorer people to contribute, this will take place.  The key aspect of this function will be to bring people directly affected by policy in contact with politicians on a daily basis.   Representation will be gathered from all walks of civil society, from reputable charities and organisations.
