As the Deputy will be aware my Department is not one of the Departments scheduled for decentralisation under the Government's Decentralisation Programme. To date fifty-four civil servants have transferred to decentralising Departments from my Department (three of whom have transferred since 1 January 2008). Further details in respect of the transfer of these officers are available from the decentralising Departments and I understand that the Deputy has also tabled questions to the relevant Ministers.
