Six appointments have been made to the Principal Officer grade within my Department since 7 July 2015 arising from internal or open competitions. Of these, four arose from internal competitions, one from the 2015 Principal Officer open competition and one from the 2017 Principal Officer open competition run by the Public Appointments Service. My Department also recruits staff using mobility initiatives such as secondments. There have been no appointments made to the Principal Officer (Higher) from interdepartmental competitions. Details of the appointments are set out in the following table.
