I propose to take Questions Nos. 240, 244 and 249 together.

To date in my Department no positions have been identified as surplus to requirements and therefore no positions have been placed on a redeployment panel. Regarding agencies under the aegis of my Department, the Public Appointments Service has two positions available for redeployment on their panel since May 2012. In addition in the IPA, out of 15 positions identified for redeployment, there are only three still awaiting redeployment for the last two months.

The Public Appointments Service is responsible for reassigning positions from redeployment panels.

Management in my Department will continue to monitor and examine how resources are been deployed and whenever possible any surplus posts will be placed on the redeployment panel.
