COMMENTARY

Public Bodies 2002 is the latest in a series of annual publications providing information on public bodies

sponsored by Government. This edition gives a snapshot as at 31 March 2002.

Public bodies carry out a wide range of functions on behalf of Government and between them, the main ones spend

just over £20 billion of public money each year. As part of the Government’s commitment to transparency and

accountability, the Cabinet Office collects and publishes annually information about public bodies as a whole,

to supplement information about individual bodies already contained in departmental Annual Reports.

The scope of this publicationPrevious editions of this publication have reported on the public bodies sponsored by the Devolved

Administrations as well as UK Government departments. In recognition of the bedding down of the devolved

arrangements, this year’s publication gives full information, summary statistics and analysis only for bodies

sponsored by UK Government departments (this would include the Northern Ireland Office, the Scotland Office

and the Welsh Office as appropriate).

Summary information about bodies sponsored by the Scottish Executive is at pages 153–4. Subject to

parliamentary approval of the necessary legislative changes, appointments to those bodies will be

separately monitored by the Commissioner for Public Appointments for Scotland from 2003.

Information about bodies sponsored by the Welsh Assembly Government and the Northern Ireland Assembly

is contained at pages 155–162 and 123–151 respectively. It is proposed that appointments made by the Welsh

Assembly Government be separately monitored by a Commissioner for Public Appointments for Wales from

2004. More information can be obtained directly from the Devolved Administrations.

What is a public body?A public body is not part of a government department, but carries out its function to a greater or lesser

extent at arm’s length from central government. Ministers are ultimately responsible to Parliament for the

activities of the bodies sponsored by their department and in almost all cases (except, for example, where

there is separate statutory provision) ministers make the appointments to their boards. Departments are

responsible for funding and ensuring good governance of their public bodies. In this publication, each body

is listed under the heading of the government department that is its sponsor.

The term “public body” is a general one which includes: Nationalised Industries, such as the British

Waterways Board; Public Corporations, such as the BBC; NHS Bodies, which comprise NHS Trusts and

Special Health Authorities; and Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPBs).

Commentary

iv

There are four types of NDPBs. These denote different funding arrangements, functions and kinds of activity.

They are:

• Executive NDPBs – established in statute and carrying out administrative, regulatory and commercial

functions, they employ their own staff and are allocated their own budgets.

• Advisory NDPBs – provide independent and expert advice to ministers on particular topics of interest.

They do not usually have staff but are supported by staff from their sponsoring department. They

do not usually have their own budget, as costs incurred come within the department’s expenditure.

• Tribunal NDPBs – have jurisdiction in a specialised field of law. They are usually supported by staff from

their sponsoring department and do not have their own budgets.

• Boards of Visitors – ‘watchdogs’ of the prison system. Their duty is to satisfy themselves as to the state

of the prison premises, their administration and the treatment of prisoners. The sponsoring department

meets the costs.

Numbers of bodiesThere were 834 public bodies sponsored by UK Government departments as at 31 March 2002. This figure is

made up of 3 Nationalised Industries, 11 Public Corporations, 23 NHS bodies and 797 NDPBs. The NDPB group

is made up of 192 Executive NDPBs, 428 Advisory NDPBs, 36 Tribunal NDPBs (counted on the basis of tribunal

systems rather than individual boards) and 141 Boards of Visitors.

The Government continues to keep the need for each public body under review and new public bodies are

only set up when it can be demonstrated that they provide the best means of delivering the function required.

Appointments to public bodiesThousands of people from a wide range of backgrounds across the whole of the UK, with a variety of skills

and experience, participate in public life through appointments to the public bodies listed in this book.

You can find summary information about the 22,000 or so men and women serving on the boards of these

public bodies on the following pages.

Appointment on merit continues to be the overriding principle for selecting people for an appointment.

Alongside this principle, the Government has been working hard to open up public appointments to all suitable

people and improving the diversity of the boards that run public bodies. The aim is that public appointments

should broadly represent the composition of the population generally.

The overall UK Government target for 2005 is for an even balance of men and women on boards of public

bodies; about 6–7% people from a minority ethnic background (to reflect the proportion of people from these

communities in the economically active population as a whole); and to increase the number of appointments

of people who identify themselves as having a disability from the 2001 figure of 1.5%. Each department has set

itself its own target to achieve.

Commentary

v

As at 31 March 2002, 34% of appointments made by UK Government departments were held by women;

6.2% by people from a minority ethnic background; and 3.3% by people who had identified themselves

as having a disability.

The Government is pleased to see that progress has been good against the minority ethnic community

and disability targets, but is disappointed that the proportion of women holding public appointments has

remained static this year. Departments will continue to work to improve this.

Regulating the appointment processThe post of Commissioner for Public Appointments was established in November 1995 and the current

Commissioner is Dame Rennie Fritchie. The Commissioner’s role is to regulate, monitor and report on the

way ministers make appointments to the boards of public bodies. The Commissioner’s jurisdiction currently

covers ministerial appointments to public bodies in Great Britain. There is a separate post of Commissioner for

Appointments in Northern Ireland (also currently held by Dame Rennie Fritchie). As already mentioned, there

are proposals to set up separate arrangements for Scotland and Wales from 2003 and 2004 respectively.

About half of all public appointments fall within the Commissioner’s remit. The Government however seeks

to follow the Code of Practice established by the Commissioner as good practice for all public appointments

wherever possible. All public bodies falling within the Commissioner’s jurisdiction are shown in the following

pages as ‘OCPA regulated’. Most of the appointments that are not regulated by OCPA are appointments to

tribunals, the majority of which are separately regulated by the Commissioner for Judicial Appointments.

TASK FORCES

As well as the data on public bodies, we have also this year included a section listing the Government’s task

forces, ad hoc advisory groups and reviews. Previously these were reported on separately, and to a different

timetable. Including this data in one publication gives a more complete picture of the extended bodies and

groups working to deliver government objectives.

In contrast to NDPBs, which have a long-term activity to discharge, task forces, ad hoc advisory groups and

reviews have a short-term focus and when their work comes to an end they are disbanded. Their

recommendations may of course continue to be taken forward in other parts of government. These groups are

usually created to give expert advice to the Government on a specific issue and are usually expected to

remain in operation for less than two years.

Some examples of task forcesTo illustrate the various roles that task forces and similar bodies can play, here are some examples of groups

set up in 2002:

The Lord Chancellor’s Department has set up an advisory group to help improve enforcement performance

by Magistrates’ Courts Committees.

The Department for Education and Skills has set up an advisory group which is currently reviewing and

monitoring DfES advice to schools on the handling of education staff and misconduct issues.

The Department of Health has set up a task force to examine the options for achieving successful statutory

self-regulation of the herbal medicine profession as a whole.

The Department for Work and Pensions has set up an advisory group to develop, implement, oversee and

evaluate the strategy for the programme of activity in the European Year of Disabled People 2003.

Task Forces

xv

Reporting on task forcesThe report lists all the task forces, ad hoc advisory groups and reviews in existence between 1 April 2001 and

31 March 2002. Each individual entry sets out:

• the full title;

• the date established;

• the date wound up (if appropriate);

• the number of members and information on the sectors from which members are drawn;

• the name and background of the chair; and

• reporting arrangements (including any reports published).

The report shows that, during 2001/02, there were 47 task forces, 172 ad hoc advisory groups and 45 reviews

in existence. 58 of these have now been wound up. At the end of the period therefore there were:

Task Forces Ad hoc Advisory Groups Reviews

41 133 32

Compared with the previous year-end figures, the number of task forces has reduced by 7; ad hoc advisory

groups by 107 and reviews by 39.

Review of Scottish Public Bodies

PUBLIC APPOINTMENTS IN SCOTLAND

During 2001, the Scottish Executive carried out a major review of all public bodies within thelegislative competence of the Scottish Parliament as part of its modernisation of democraticstructures. The review considered the role public bodies should play in a devolved Scotland,together with how they should operate and be accountable to Scottish Ministers and theParliament. The report Public Bodies: Proposals For Change (June 2001) announced significantchanges to the status and continuation of a number of public bodies. A copy is available atwww.scotland.gov.uk/library3/government/pbreview.pdf

As of 30 September 2002 there were 151 public bodies in Scotland comprising:

39 Executive NDPBs48 Advisory NDPBs35 Tribunals*2 Nationalised Industries1 Public Corporation26 NHS Bodies

This number is subject to change in line with the recommendations contained in the ScottishExecutive publication Proposals for Change.

Further details of Scottish public bodies are available from the Scottish Executive website –www.scotland.gov.uk/government/publicbodies or from the Scottish Executive, Public Bodyand Executive Agency Policy Unit.
