MRS CARNELL - The delay in providing the response has been largely brought about by the considerable liaison between agencies required to co-ordinate the response to provide Members with the latest possible information. A supplementary table providing the status of Executive offices as at 20 August 1996 has been included. The answer to the Member's questions are set out below.

(1) Prior to the release of the Cullen Egan and Dell Report -

(a) how many SES jobs were there in the ACT Public Service;

There were a total of 8 Chief Executive and 106 SES positions in the ACT Public Service. In addition, there were 14 statutory office holder positions and 16 SES equivalent positions bringing the total for the SES profile to 144. Of that number, there were 22 positions excluded from the CED resizing and redesign exercise because they were either in the process of being abolished or they were already identified as being excess to requirements. Also excluded from the review were 12 statutory office holder positions.
