Assurances by Ministers

Centralised Record keeping

It provides a single digital repository where all assurances are recorded, ensuring transparency and eliminating the risk of losing track of commitments.

Real time updates

Integration with Standing committee on Assurances

Categorisation of assurances

• Pending - still in progress
• Implemented - fulfilled
• Dropped - no longer actionable with reason documented.
