The Governance Code on Public Appointments has been in place since December 2016 and states that appointments, reappointments and extensions for Non Executive Directors require the agreement of Ministers.

Subject to any statutory provisions relating to the body to which the appointment is being made, it is for Ministers to decide on length of tenure. However there is a strong presumption that no individual should serve more than two terms or serve in any one post for more than ten years. This remains government policy.

The regulation of public appointments against the requirements of this Code is carried out by the Commissioner for Public Appointments.
