My Department has been doing a blend of remote working and in-presence work during Covid. About 50% of the staff were working from home and the other 50% were in the offices because, obviously, the nature of the service we provide meant people had to come in. The HR department continues to engage with staff because there is a policy and we want to find the solution that works both for the Department and the staff. There are ongoing discussions. As the Chairman can appreciate, this takes a bit of time but we are working on it.
