I assume that where the Deputy refers to non-technical civil service promotion panels he is seeking information on general service interdepartmental promotion panels in the civil service. Such competitions are run by the Public Appointments Service. During the past 24 months panels from the following competitions were closed:
Circular 11/2007: Confined competition for appointment to posts at Principal Officer (Standard Scale) in the Civil Service
Circular 28/2007: Confined competition for appointment to posts at Assistant Principal (Standard Scale) in the Civil Service
Circular 14/2007: Confined competition for promotion to Higher Executive Officer in the Civil Service

Circular 25/2006: Confined competition for promotion to Staff Officer in the Civil Service
Circular 6/2008: Confined competition for appointment as Clerical Officer in the Civil Service No further competitions have been held nor is it planned to hold any in the immediate future.
