The Department is committed to reforming CE to ensure delivery of service, value for money and the progression of the individual. The broad policy direction for CE in 2013 and future years will be based on the main action points coming from the CE Financial Review which has recently been completed and published by the Department. No determination has yet been made in relation to CE places for 2013.
