Private sector consultants

Polly made this Official Information request to Public Service Commission

The request was partially successful.

From: Polly

Dear Public Service Commission,

According to recent answers to parliament questions, the health sector Transition unit inside DPMC appears to have spent more than $13million on private sector business consultants to provide policy advice to Ministers.

1. What systems does the public service commission have in place to ensure the quality of advice provided to ministers, when branches of agencies are lead, managed and staffed primarily by private sector consultants?

2. What steps is PSC taking to protect against perceptions of corruption in the public service in situations where a private sector business consultant working to lead a team in the public service channels more than $10m to their own private sector company?

3. What steps is the PSC taking to address the growing reliance on private sector consultants to provide core public service functions, with significant funding and workforce flowing to private sector companies at the expense of growing and building capacity and capability in the public sector, and significant differential in pay for staff.

Yours faithfully,

Polly
