Answer 2

Explanation:

What is the civil service?

Often working in the public sector, an employee of the civil service is basically employed by the government to impartially implement their policies and laws. As a result, civil service employees often work in areas that highly affect people’s everyday life (e.g. health and education).

Ministers are assisted by a 560,000-strong army of civil servants working in 24 ministerial departments and executive agencies. There are also non-ministerial departments who have a range of further responsibilities too.

As civil servants are employed by the Crown they can be easily transferred between departments without losing their employment rights. This allows a free flow of staff between departments, and comes in useful when there are major upheavals and reorganisations – such as a change of government. So it’s common for large numbers of civil servants to find themselves working for an entirely different department at only a few hours’ notice.

However, being a public servant does not necessarily make you a civil servant. Public bodies including local authorities, the NHS and the armed services are not included in the civil service.
