The report of the decentralisation implementation group of 19 November 2004 set out 15 organisations to be included in an "early movers" group and a further group of six possible "early movers" with a range of indicative dates for decentralisation of third quarter 2006 to third quarter 2008. In line with this there have been no staff moves to decentralisation locations to date.
