(a) 233.
(b) The attached schedule contains a list of all positions identified to be abolished.
(c) These positions are being progressively abolished during the 2003/2004 financial year.
(d) The Department expects to achieve total savings of approximately $9 million.
(e) 30 June 2004.
(f) See (d).
(g) Since January 2003, 19 staff have received redundancy payments to a total of $971 372.31. The focus at this stage is on placing surplus staff rather than providing redundancy. Consequently, an estimate of the total cost of redundancies cannot be made at this stage.
