I am very supportive of non execs on departmental boards. I have 3 on the DoF board and their advice and guidance is invaluable. Departmental non execs have also started coming together every few months to share best practice. Good progress being made but more to do

Stephen McCormick

@SJA_McC

@SueGrayDOF @BoardAppr @publicapptscomm 👍 but we need more non execs on NI Departments’ Boards currently dominated by executives & stronger guidance which allows civil sevants of other depts to be pseudo independent members. Why does NI not follow best practice in governance or indeed HMT & Cabinet Office guidance?
