Mr. Noel Waters:

They do. This is a wider issue for the public service, but people do leave their posts. I accept that there is a wider issue about non-performance and in a wider sense it is a problem for the entire public service. That is being addressed as part of the entire Civil Service renewal programme. I should mention that I am also part of the Civil Service management board, a new creature that has emerged on foot of the Civil Service renewal programme last year. I am part of that and I subscribe, attend and contribute in the same way as every other Secretary General in every other Department.
