As part of the Public Sector Reform Programme to deliver reform and innovation across the public service, the National Shared Services Office (formerly PeoplePoint) was established in 2012.  The National Shared Services Office (NSSO) leads on shared services strategy and the implementation of shared services across the Civil Service.

The NSSO is responsible for the provision of human resources, payroll and pension administration for Government Departments.

The NSSO has responsibility for the processing of pension entitlements for employees who retire from my Department and therefore the information and breakdown on pension payments for the years mentioned is held by the NSSO.

I have asked staff in the Human Resources Division to liaise with the NSSO to arrange for this information to be provided directly to the Deputy.
