(4) Who will develop the programs designed to give senior officers skills and experience in different strategic and operational environments?
(5) Who will conduct these programs and when will they commence?
(6) How will sector wide programs designed to address identified gaps be implemented and when will they be implemented?
(7) How will savings be achieved by implementing recommendation 34?
(8) What is the total expected savings to Government on an annual basis from recommendation number 34 of the Economic Audit Committee?

(1) Capability gap analyses will be undertaken by agencies with assistance provided from relevant agencies, including the Public Sector Commission.
(2) They will be developed as part of the ongoing workforce planning process undertaken jointly by agencies and the Public Sector Commission.
(3) Responsibility for carrying out capability gap analyses will be shared by agencies and the Public Sector Commission.
(4) The Public Sector Commission, together with Public Sector Agencies.
(5) The Public Sector Commission and Public Sector Agencies. Implementation will depend on program development and broader public sector reform priorities.
(6) The Public Sector Commission will identify appropriate programs to address capability gaps. This will be undertaken as part of the Commission's role in identifying and developing leadership talent across the sector. Some programs have already commenced and others will be developed on an ongoing basis.
(7-8) The EAC's recommendations were designed for the purposes of achieving the best possible outcome for the community and achieving maximum value for taxpayers' money, rather than the delivery of savings for Government. Potential savings for this initiative have not yet been determined. If appropriate, they will be assessed on a case-by-case basis when implementation proposals are submitted to Government.
