There were no meetings between the Chief Scientific Adviser and the Secretary of State between October 2017 and December 2017.

The department is currently piloting the Chief Scientific Adviser (CSA) role. An interim CSA took up the post in October 2017 with a first objective of scoping the role for the department and to provide immediate scientific/technical support to officials ahead of an open recruitment in April.
