Watmore gets PM Delivery Unit role

Changes put IT-enabled transformation at the heart of New Labour public services policy

Computing, 15 Dec 2005

Ian Watmore, head of the Cabinet Office eGovernment Unit (eGU) has been promoted to head the Prime Minister's Delivery Unit (PMDU).

The new role will focus on delivering the public service reforms at the heart of the New Labour agenda.

Watmore will continue to focus on the Transformational Government strategy published last month and will also retain his place on the Chief Information Officer Council. A new eGU head will be appointed once Watmore starts his new role in January, following consultation with the CIO Council early in the New Year.

The new appointee will report to Watmore in the PMDU, who will report to Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell and be accountable to the Prime Minister.
