1900
The latest estimate, according to the Finance Minister Peter Robinson of how many full time civil service posts will be lost over the next three years under the continuing review agenda and the Review of Public Administration. It is strangely similar to the 1868 figure recently given for civil service vacancies. I shall post the full question and answer in the extended entry.
Civil Service Job Losses
Mr J Dallat asked the Minister of Finance and Personnel to list the number of civil service job losses anticipated over the next three years, broken down by department.
(AQW 3870/08)
Mr P Robinson: The number of Civil Service post reductions anticipated over the next three years to deliver cash-releasing savings of 3% a year, including a 5% per annum real-terms reduction in administration costs, is not known at this time. Government Departments are in the process of developing for publication their Efficiency Delivery Plans which will set out how they will achieve their efficiency targets, and it is anticipated that information on the extent of reductions will be known at that time.
Current estimates of reductions in staffing levels, over the next 3 years, in connection with the ongoing reform agenda and the Review of Public Administration, suggest an overall reduction of some 1900 full-time equivalent posts.

Again this demonstrates how ineffective Peter Robinson and the Department of Finance and Personnel are. On one hand we hear job losses, and then we hear job gains. Who knows what is going on as the clowns listed above don’t?
