"Se ha implementado una nueva estructura para el Gobierno de Escocia, transformando la estructura departamental y pasando de nueve Jefes de Departamento a una Junta Estratégica con el Secretario Permanente y cinco Directores Generales (DG), cada uno responsable de impulsar uno de los objetivos estratégicos del Gobierno. Los Directores Generales se centran en el desempeño de toda la organización en relación con el propósito del Gobierno. La nueva estructura implica la desaparición de los antiguos Departamentos del Ejecutivo escocés. En su lugar, cada DG apoya y gestiona varias Direcciones encabezadas por un Director, las cuales lideran, presentan y desarrollan políticas para los Ministros."
