I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Senior executive service members have been invited to express an interest in being offered a management-initiated retirement package. (2) As at 28 May 2001, 35 members of the senior executive service had expressed interest in being offered a management-initiated retirement package. (3)-(4) In the Premier’s statement to Parliament on reforms in the machinery of Western Australian government on 3 May 2001, it was stated that the Government is committed to reducing the number of senior executives by 60 positions, or 14 per cent. It is intended that this will occur over a four-year time frame. A previous commitment was also repeated in that there will be no involuntary redundancies.
