In respect of the new information and communications technology, ICT, scheme of course nobody wants to see another personnel, payroll and related systems, PPARS, and we all know the Department has to go through correct procedure and the committee supports that but it is important that people recognise this may well not be ready for the following September. If that is the case, will the one that is being rolled out this September continue? This is the first time I have been made aware it will take so long before it will be implemented. It is also important for people to know what the contingency plans are if it is not ready for 2019.
