Conclusion
Government accepts that it is important to have deep digital, data and technology expertise preserved within departments. Government has excessively outsourced programmes and has very thinly resourced the internal client function capability within departments. That has been a problem and has led to a dependence on external experts, without sufficient internal expertise.41
