The Office of Public Works is currently in the process of recruiting an excavator driver for its engineering branch, and a number of executive officer level 'buyers' for the National Procurement Service, on a fixed term basis. In the case of other vacancies that the OPW has received sanction to fill, it is hoped that the majority of these will be dealt with by way of re-deployment or internal re-assignment in accordance with that sanction. The annual recruitment of 410 seasonal and fixed term staff has also been completed for 2011, principally guide/information officers and drainage operatives.

As the Deputy is aware, the proposal to appoint a Chief Information Officer was approved by the previous Government in 2010 but no appointment had been made before the election.
The matter of a Chief Information Officer may be considered as part of a package of measures to drive the ambitious public service reform programme.
