I am delighted to be here this afternoon to present the fourth biennial Public Service Excellence Awards.
These Awards were established by my predecessor in 2004, as a means of showcasing excellence in the Public Service. In particular, the Awards recognise best practice in projects and initiatives that have enhanced the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of administration and delivery of public services. I am delighted to be able to continue the Awards this year.
