Ms Marie-Claire Maney:

At present, I am at my employment control framework. I cannot take on anybody because it is a constraint and it would have to be changed. I suggest that in the new structure we have a tiered commissioner structure so the salaries would change. This would free up some money to recruit more. The underspend from before I joined was, for the most part, with regard to administrative staff and trying to get in those various grades. Last year, there was an underspend some of which was accountable by my salary. The recruitment campaign for me took six months. I was informed in the middle of June and I started as soon as I could, which was 1 July. These are some of the reasons for the underspend.
