The Director of Workforce and Corporate Development presented information to the committee
and confirmed in detail the process which had been undertaken to ensure that all opportunities
for redeployment had been explored. After a sift by senior HR staff, the Redeployment panels,
which included functional managers and staff side representatives, had compared all displaced
staff with the remaining vacancies and had advised where further discussion should take place

with receiver organisations and displaced staff. The Head of Workforce said that discussions
were ongoing in some cases and theses cases would be considered at a later committee
meeting if the outcome was not successful.
The total costs of redundancy as a worst case was presented and confirmed at approximately
£2.8m.
Two additional staff were displaced after successfully appealing against a match on the grounds
that the location was not suitable. One VERS application was rejected as the individual was no
longer eligible after securing a post.
The Director of Workforce and Corporate Development said that all VERS applications had
been considered in the light of redeployment outcomes by a Redundancy panel comprising
herself, the Chief Executive and the Assistant Director of Workforce. The Committee then
considered each VERS application which had been recommended by the Redundancy panel in
details and ratified the following decisions:
