[50919/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Department’s Management Board consists of the Secretary General, the Deputy Secretary, ten Assistant Secretaries, the Chief Appeals Officer and the Chief Medical Adviser. An organisational chart to Principal level is attached showing total staff reporting to each Assistant Secretary. There are some 6500 people in the Department. The Department has undergone considerable transformation in recent years with the integration of the employment and community services of FÁS and the community welfare service from the HSE. The transformation and reorganisation of the Department is now well advanced but will take some years to complete. If the Deputy would like additional details or to discuss further the Secretary General is happy to meet the Deputy.
