- Links in the chain In this light, the debate over Home Office reform highlights a much broader set of questions about the future of the civil service. The government wants to raise the performance of its departments to increase their ability to deliver ministerial agendas. Its instinct is usually to split up functions and create tighter avenues of accountability to drive up standards.
