At the same time, the Royal Chancery was renamed from the Kunglig Majestäts kansli to Regeringskansliet (Government Offices).

This change in terminology reflected a significant shift in Sweden's system of government, marking the full establishment of parliamentary rule.

The deputy also assumes the role of head of the Government Offices to the extent determined by the Prime Minister.

The permanent secretary is also responsible for administrative matters that involve multiple ministries or committees across different policy areas.

Additionally, the permanent secretary is in charge of the personnel policy within the Government Offices, except for matters related to the allocation of workplace environment responsibilities.

Senior officials in the Prime Minister's Office include state secretaries, the permanent secretary, director-general for legal affairs, the EU chief, head of human resources, the special senior official for crisis management, and the national security advisor (nationella säkerhetsrådgivaren).

This prompted the acceleration of plans for the ministry expansion, as Parliament needed to use the chancery building (Kanslihuset [sv]).
