The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what total amount of voluntary severance payments have been made by Highlands and Islands Enterprise to reduce its staffing levels in light of recent reductions in its budget.
The answer
Highlands and Islands Enterprise offered voluntary severance in the 2007-08 financial year as a result of the reform and refocus of the enterprise networks announced in September 2007.
Once official approval to implement a severance scheme has been granted, the payment of voluntary severance to staff is an operational matter for Highlands and Islands Enterprise. I have asked the chief executive to write to you in this regard.
