The Department of Health and Children does not have offices in any of the locations mentioned above and it is not a decentralising Department under the Government's Decentralisation Programme. The Public Appointments Service maintains details of all officers who have applied through the Central Applications Facility to move to Departments decentralising to the locations mentioned. Departments with offices in the locations mentioned prior to the current decentralisation programme maintain central transfer lists of officers who have applied for transfers to these existing offices. Therefore information in respect of officers from this Department who have expressed an interest in transferring to these locations is available from the Public Appointments Service and/or the individual Departments with existing offices in the locations.
