There are currently 60 members of staff in my Department seeking transfers to another location within my Department.

My Department also operates the Central Transfer List, which is the agreed mechanism for transfers for grades represented by the Civil and Public Service Union (CPSU), i.e. Clerical Officer and Staff Officer. There are currently 2,697 applicants on this list from various Civil Service Departments including my Department.

There is a small number of my Department’s staff remaining on the Central Application Facility, which was the transfer list operated for decentralisation.

In 2012 24 staff transfers took place on a county basis.
