In the British Virgin Islands, the ministries are usually headed by a Permanent Secretary, a Deputy Permanent Secretary and a number of Assistant Secretaries dedicated to administer selected portfolios. The Permanent Secretary and associated staff are working under the direction of a Crown appointed minister. The minister and collectively his colleagues usually work on setting policy and direction, while the permanent secretary manages the process of ensuring agreed outcomes.
From time to time, such re-shuffle is carried out in the British Virgin Islands in order to provide permanent secretaries an opportunity to experience new areas and develop as professionals.
The last wide-spread re-shuffling of permanent secretaries took place in the BVI in 2003.
Now, a new re-shuffle was carried out. So, the most recent re-shuffle of permanent secretaries in some Ministries in the BVI happened last Tuesday.
