Our Regional Director is Paul Pugh, who is supported by six Directors. Directors each have responsibility for a specific area of Government policy, such as housing, local government or community safety.
Government Offices are part of the Department for Communities and Local Government, which covers regional and urban policy, local government, planning, housing and regeneration. The Government Office network website is now available at http://www.gos.gov.uk
Other departments with a stake in Government Offices are the
- Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF)
- Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)
- Department Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR)
- Department for Transport (DfT)
- Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA)
- Home Office (HO)
- Department for Culture Media & Sport (DCMS)
- Cabinet Office (CO)
- Ministry of Justice (MOJ)
- Department of Health (DH)
We also work closely with the public health teams from the Department of Health (DH).
Government Offices therefore function from the heart of Government. As Government's eyes and ears in the region we communicate messages and ensure an East of England input to the policy-making process at the centre. We work with a range of regional and local bodies, including local authorities, businesses, local education authorities, voluntary organisations, the health service, and local people to help create sustainable communities and to maximise competitiveness and prosperity in the region.
