Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 July 2017
476. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Health the number of civil servants in his Department that have requested a transfer to a location outside County Dublin; the number of civil servants in his Department that have requested a transfer from a location outside of Dublin into County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31822/17]
View answerMy Department does not currently have a transfer list.
As you will be aware, Action 15 of the Civil Service Renewal Plan has a commitment to develop a mobility scheme within the Civil Service. Work on this scheme is ongoing with the Civil Service Management Board, Departments and staff interests.
The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform is currently developing Phase 1 of the scheme for the general service grades of CO - EO which they plan to launch later in the year. Phase 2 of the scheme will be developed following implementation of Phase 1 and will include the general service grades of HEO, AO and AP.
The scheme will be centralised and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform will have the facility to report on numbers on lists per department and location following its successful launch.
