(1a-c) [see tabled paper no] (2a-b) All public sector agencies from which officers are seconded on a salary recoup basis seek recoups from the Department of the Premier and Cabinet on a regular basis. The Minister for Public Sector Management is not prepared to devote resources to compiling specific information about the dates of recoups but if the Member has a specific inquiry the Minister will endeavour to provide a reply.
