The human resources service is an in-house service run by seconded staff. They are now being centralised into one unit, which, by and large, we had done anyway. They are all civil servants and confidentiality will remain. There are a number of portals of access. It is interesting that since PeoplePoint went live only a short number of weeks ago, it has been well used both via e-mail and telephone access. It will be a significant success.
