No. In 2000 a Review of the Enterprise Networks examined the roles and responsibilities of the Department and the Enterprise Networks and clarified relationships. The Executive is responsible for setting strategic direction and has done so through A Smart, Successful Scotland. That document also sets out the wider nature of the revised relationship with the Enterprise Networks.
