The Public Appointments Service Board is meant to be representative of its client base so the majority is therefore civil or public servants, nominated by the relevant Minister. There is also a union representative nominated by ICTU. The outgoing Chairman was reappointed by me and the two external members were appointed because of their expertise in strategic change and public service recruitment respectively.
