Mr. David Moloney:

The two secondments of the civil servants we talked about broadly fit within the policy set alongside the Government decision. In terms of the public service and it following the policy, this is a policy that has been approved by the Civil Service Management Board and the Secretary General of each Department is in a position to encourage the bodies under its aegis to use it. We do that with quite a number policies in terms of general standards and guidelines. However, we must respect the fact that the legislation gives the HSE board governance responsibilities over the HSE. We have many different avenues to push out these guidelines and encourage bodies to align with them. Broadly speaking, within the particular context, bodies are happy to do that. The blended working framework is one of the more recent examples.
