The Civil Service

In many ways, State employees are in a privileged position, their security and terms and conditions of employment are usually much better than the equivalent level in private industry.  However, the policies outlined above will bring upon them a need for change such that they have never seen before.  They must be guaranteed no compulsory redundancy.  They must also be encouraged to re-train and to switch to other Branches and Agencies especially toward local government as the numbers in that sector will need to rise.  If there are indeed 350,000 jobs to be dispensed with it shows the need for much better planning of the recruitment into and retirement from this huge workforce.

Any individual responsible for an action which brings about justified public and media criticism must face demotion or dismissal.  As should their Minister if directly involved.
