It does. There's what you might call the central coordination role around government plans and delivery, and it has been done in different ways by different governments. It typically is driven by something out of the Cabinet Office, which is another core central department. We have something called the implementation unit, and I would say it has a significant role, certainly in this government.
Also, under this government there is an increased focus on ensuring coordination between the Cabinet Office and that implementation unit and the Treasury, which controls the finances side.
Certainly it sounds very similar.
