This consultation exercise is designed to invite comments on the proposal to establish a Public Services Commission, as successor to the Civil Service Commission. It is intended that the Public Services Commission would be the employing authority of not only civil servants, but also other categories of employee including manual and craft workers employed by Departments and Boards, under Whitley Council terms and conditions, and some other employees across central Government; principally those whose terms and conditions are analogous to the Civil Service or the Whitley Council.

The Civil Service Commission on behalf of the Council of Ministers welcomes responses from anyone who may have a view on the proposals in this document.

The consultation document can be accessed via the link at the bottom of this page.
