I have a final question on a future issue. The average age of staff in the public sector is creeping towards 50 years of age and over the next ten years that trend will continue. A total of 4% of the staff are under the age of 30 years. I am not being ageist but I make the point that as time passes the sector will be losing skills and intellectual property. What is the Department considering putting in place to ensure there is an optimum level of skills sets available in the public sector?
