Mr. John Moran:

It is not just at assistant secretary level, but from assistant principal officer level up. We took the view that should be done for a number of reasons. One of the things that has occurred is that it has also helped to set the benchmark for people and an understanding for those inside. We have had a number of people who have been successful in competitions at a particular level. After a year of performance management and further training, realising they have additional skills, some have found they can go for competition at a level above that and move with extra speed through the system to find their appropriate level. It has been very successful as an exercise and well received by staff.
