The turnover of Permanent Secretaries and senior civil servants is very rapid (see page 17-18). This lack of continuity is particularly unhelpful with Brexit dominating the work of so many departments. Not only are there genuine issues around service delivery but also a lack of accountability.
The frequent turnover of ministers is also a symptom of Brexit. It often leads to disjointed policy making and a stop start approach on projects. There needs to be a better handover between ministers. I had the rare chance to do this when I was the first minister to have a dedicated maternity cover. In normal circumstances this type of handover is rare and haphazard. It should be routine.
