Prime Minister's Delivery Unit

The Prime Minister's Delivery Unit (PMDU) (now known as the No 10 Delivery Unit) is a centre of government institution in the United Kingdom, providing support to the Prime Minister on public service delivery.

It was initially created in June 2001 to monitor progress on and strengthen the British government's capacity to deliver on key campaign priorities of Prime Minister Tony Blair's second-term government: education, health, crime and transport.[1] The Unit reported to the Prime Minister through the Head of the Civil Service (the Cabinet Secretary).

The Unit was abolished in 2010 but revived in 2021. In the interim an 'Implementation Unit' was set up in the Cabinet Office, with a similar remit.[2]
