A "Devolved Administration" refers to a system of government where certain powers and responsibilities are transferred from a central government to regional or local governments. This allows regions to make decisions on specific issues, such as education, health, and transportation, tailored to their unique needs. Examples of devolved administrations include the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Senedd, and the Northern Ireland Assembly. Devolution aims to bring government closer to the people, enhancing democratic participation and accountability. While the central government retains control over reserved matters like defense and foreign affairs, devolved administrations can legislate and govern on a range of local issues, promoting regional autonomy and self-governance.
