I propose to take Questions Nos. 83 and 84 together.

I refer the Deputies to my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 55097/17 on 16 January 2018.

The Bill is on the list of priority legislation for publication in the Spring/Summer Session 2018.

Deputies will appreciate that I am not in a position to comment on individual cases. Details of the interim implementation arrangements have been put in place by the individual public service sectors. Queries in relation to individual cases should be addressed by the employee concerned to his/her HR Section.
