I have witnessed agency staff filling in for three years. There is one person who is in their seventh year in position in admin. I would need to check with them again. Certainly, last year was the person's sixth year in the same position, which has never been advertised as far as I know. Somebody who applied to panels when they come up is still on the agency system. If people's work is deficient, they presumably would not be there after six or seven years, but this person is still there in the same position. I will talk to the witnesses about it afterwards. I do not want to identify a person.
