I am advised that 4 officers are on secondment from my Department to other Government Departments. All of these secondments are for a period of less than 10 years.

The salaries for each of the seconded officers are paid by their receiving Department and the salary arrangements are a matter for the receiving Departments.

The table below sets the details for these secondment arrangements.
