Carolyn Seepersad-Bachan, Minister of Public Administration explained: “Shared service is not a new concept. Many private sector organisations use shared services to realise greater efficiencies and savings. Public sector organisations in many Commonwealth countries are following this trend.
We already have a pilot programme in place between the Ministry of Public Administration and the Ministry of Communications that is being used to help define a model for wider application of this concept.”
Implementation of this strategy is one of the important elements in the transformation and modernization of the public service. “By bringing together more of the services that ministries use, we will not only save taxpayers money, we will also free up these organisations so that they can focus on implementing policy and delivering services to the public,” Seepersad-Bachan said.
The Shared Services Strategy is being introduced on a phased basis in ministries that experienced a split in their original portfolios following the realignment of ministerial portfolios in June 2012. These include the Ministries of Public Utilities, Environment and Water Resources, Tertiary Education and Skills Testing, Science and Technology, the Arts and Multiculturalism and National Diversity and Social Integration.
