6.6 Independence 6.6.1 In its 2011/12 annual report the JICS again cautioned against it becoming an independent entity 'overnight' and undertook to pursue the issue of its independence with the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA). The Committee recalls that in 2010/11 the JICS had also reported that its financial independence would require "drastic changes to the present structure, operation and functioning of the Inspectorate" and therefore should be briefed on whether the concerns raised about its independence then, had been taken into account during the planning of the restructuring currently underway.
