The 2014 Budget reflects the following changes in the structure of Government:
- the dissolution of the Department of Community, Culture and Leisure (DCCL);
- the creation of a new Department of Health and Social Care,
- the creation of a new Cabinet Office comprising the Chief Secretary’s Office, Information Systems Division (previously with the Department of Economic Development), Economic Affairs Division (previously with Treasury) and the Office of Human Resources; and
- the merger of the Manx Electricity Authority and Water & Sewerage Authority into a new Manx Utilities Authority.
The functions previously undertaken by DCCL have been transferred as follows:
- Public Transport and Corporate Services have been transferred to the Department of Infrastructure;
- Villa Marina/ Gaiety to Department of Economic Development;
- Arts Council, Sports and Recreation, Facility Support to Department of Education and Children;
- Wildlife Park to Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture.

Department of Health and Social Care | Catering |
Department of Infrastructure | Cleaning, estates, fleet management |
Treasury | Financial processing including payroll |
Cabinet Office | Training and Human Resources; Media and Public Relations; Information Technology |
