My Department made a submission to the Special Group on Public Service and Expenditure Programmes outlining the range of activities undertaken by my Department as well as providing detailed information on the associated funding and staffing arrangements. In addition, the Secretary General and senior officials met with the Group to discuss these matters. I understand that the Special Group is about to present its report to the Minister for Finance.
