My Department has not received any appeals from staff in relation to secondments.
As part of the public sector-private sector exchange scheme, a member of staff from my Department went on placement to IBEC and a member of staff from IBEC was placed in my Department from end December 2012 to end August 2013. My Department is also currently hosting a member of staff from PricewaterhouseCoopers on placement under the same scheme.
