My Department keeps its staffing arrangements in local offices under constant review in order to ensure that payments continue to flow in a timely manner to farmers under the Farm Waste Management Scheme. It is also endeavouring to ensure that the appropriate inspections are completed within the shortest time possible and has introduced revised arrangements to expedite this process.
