I propose to take Questions Nos. 225 to 227, inclusive, together.
My Department has not finalised budget proposals for the new Education and Training Boards. However, I expect that the new boards will be established early in 2013 and work on the budgets for each of the boards will be undertaken later this year. My Department published Circular 24/2012 on 19 June 2012 which detailed the categorisation of the new Education and Training Boards for the purposes of the pay scales applicable to Chief Executive Officers of these Boards. The categorisation is based on a proposal set out by the Labour Relations Commission.
The table below sets out the names of each of the new Education and Training Boards proposed in the draft scheme of the Education and Training Boards Bill, together with the geographical area covered by each of them and the categorisation of the new Education and Training Boards for the purposes of the pay scales applicable to Chief Executive Officers of these Boards.
