Ms Deirdre McDonnell:

We are piloting the digital postbox at the moment. It is being developed by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer, OGCIO, as a service that can be used by anyone who is registered with MyGovID. People can choose the area of the public sector from which they want to receive correspondence. We are running a small pilot, but we need to do more testing in terms of the volume of payslips we will have to transfer. We are working through those issues with the OGCIO and the supplier of the system. We will also be working on communications with our payees in terms of how they register and access the service once we are ready to roll it out.
