 notes that it is the intention of the Executive that these measures will not impact on planned frontline services, which will be maintained in line with the National Service Plan, and that provision is being made that where critical or essential vacancies arise, they may be filled by re-deployment of existing staff.” — An tAire Sláinte agus Leanaí.
