"I think each big department would be much better served by having their own teams"
I tried that one. Got shut down comprehensively at every turn by senior management. This idea doesn't work by design in this political climate when you have to wait 16 weeks to gain approval to recruit permanent staff but can get a contractor next week, or approval for capital spend via tender by the end of the month. The public sector is geared to contract management rather than actually doing stuff by ideological design. This was 2013 under the coalition, I can only imagine it's got worse.
