View answerIn my Department, five officers at Principal Officer level or higher are due to retire under the Incentivised Scheme of Early Retirement. The total number of staff in my Department at Principal Officer level or higher is currently 140. Following full implementation of the ISER, the number of staff at Principal Officer level or higher will be 135. This represents 8.5% of the Department's current authorised number (1,577).
