DfI – Staff Structure 7
DfI by Numbers 14

There was a commitment in the Programme for
Government 2011-2015 to agree changes to the structures
of Government which will operate in the next Assembly.
The Stormont House Agreement in December 2014
included a commitment to reduce the number of Northern
Ireland Civil Service Departments from twelve to nine in
time for the Assembly elections in May 2016. The First
Minister subsequently announced the names of the nine
Departments and their main functions to the Assembly in
March 2015.
The Fresh Start Agreement of 17 November 2015 further
refined the functions of the future nine Departments. The
programme has been set up to deliver this commitment by
the May 2016 deadline.
