I would have imagined that if we were looking at saving money and streamlining services, we would have fewer staff not more. What I see is that we have set up a new unit and have more staff and more costs. I am trying to establish how we have saved money in the circumstances. I assume from what Ms Murphy-Fagan is saying that there may have been people in the line Departments who were formerly responsible for payroll or HR and who are now reassigned to other duties. Is that what happened?
