As set out in the UK Government Resilience Action Plan, the Cabinet Office provides scrutiny of response capabilities across the UK government through National Capabilities Assessments which take place every 2-3 years.
These are supplemented by regular check-ins and assessments of risk plans by the Cabinet Office, informed by the near-term risk profile.
