Answer

The establishment of the Government Digital Delivery Agency will continue the work undertaken by the Government Chief Digital Officer (GCDO). The GCDO role is a distinct functional and system leadership role which provides alignment across digital functions and roles across government and works in alignment with other system/functional lead roles. As the work of the Government Digital Delivery Agency evolves, I expect that other functions will continue to work with the GCDO/ Government Digital Delivery Agency to work through any potential overlap in functions that may emerge.
