Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

Detailed costings of eliminating scale points for the public service would require collation and estimation on an individual sector level, based on detailed data on the position of staff on each salary scale across the public service for each individual grade.  This detailed data is only available to individual public service employers and is not available to my Department.
