Grant Robertson says a new unit will be an extra set of eyes.
The Finance Minister has revealed he'll be leading an implementation unit, responsible for ensuring delivery for the government's priorities, at the request of the Prime Minister.
He told Mike Hosking it's necessary because there's a very large sum of money going in, due to Covid-19.
Robertson says there's a number of complex, cross-departmental projects and programmes.
