Government Departments

Departments manage budgets and administer policy for social and economic matters. Initially ten Government Departments were established to administer government responsibility for those matters that were devolved from Westminster. However on 12 April 2010 this number was increased to eleven with the establishment of the Department of Justice. In 2016 the number of departments was reduced to nine.
