My Department is fully supportive of work-sharing and family-friendly initiatives. Every effort is made to accommodate members of staff who wish to avail of such initiatives subject, of course, to the overriding consideration that the Department must be in a position to carry out its responsibilities in an efficient and effective manner. There are no civil servants in my Department currently availing of e-working.
