My Department is engaged in on-going efforts to improve efficiency and has reduced staff numbers significantly in recent years. As part of the most recent Efficiency Review, my Department again reviewed all aspects of expenditure with a view to identifying possible savings on administrative spending. The exercise has included the bodies within the aegis of my Department. I will be considering specific proposals, including the possibility of further staff savings, in the context of the on-going review of expenditure in 2008 and the preparation of the 2009 Estimate for my Department.
