Written answers

In September 2012, a Government Decision was made accepting recommendations arising from a review of Public Sector Allowances and Premium Pay.

All Departments were notified, by letter, of this decision and the associated changes that were to be implemented.

Copies of the letters that issued, outlining the changes that were being introduced are available on my Department's archived website at the following link

In order to conduct the review efficiently, and in a cost effective manner, it was undertaken using existing staff resources, within my Department.

Extensive material relating to the review, including a spreadsheet summarising statistics and the outcome of each allowance reviewed, are published on the website and available at the link above.

Relevant published materials are attached to this PQ response for ease of reference.
