Our ministers
Ministerial offices and appointments are published only when formally made and recorded. Where no current appointment has been formally made and published, the office is shown as vacant or under the applicable transitional arrangement. See HCG ministers and appointment status.
Our management
The HCG Civil Service supports ministers on a permanent, impartial and professional basis. Named senior-management appointments are published only after the appointment has been formally made and published. If no name is shown, no acting appointment should be assumed.
