If some of these documents are not valid, please state when the 2020 ICT documents are planned to be published.”

Response

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance Transport Scotland does not hold some of the information you have requested. Turning to your request in more detail, I ask you to note the following:

1. ICT/IM&T/IS Strategy: We do not have a current IT strategy document, one is in development but work is required before a document can be completed and published.

2. ICT Org Chart: we do not hold such a document. However, the ICT Team in Transport Scotland is three-strong and includes Stephen Kelly ICT Manager, Martin Healy ICT Support Manager and Change Manager roles. Alex Ramage holds the title - Head of Management Information Systems but is responsible for ICT Strategy as part of that role.

3. ICT Annual or Business Plan: whilst we do not hold a document with this specific title, we do work towards fulfilling an ICT Work Plan, and I have included the 2020/21 ICT Work Plan which was last updated at the end of July.

4. ICT Capital Programme/budget.capital budgets and programmes: we do not currently hold any ICT capital budget or have any such programmes in place
