The staff, including 30 senior managers, will leave their posts in the next few months as part of the biggest transformation of the public sector workforce in generations.

A total of 282 people applied for voluntary redundancy during the summer, with 122 applications being supported by departments and passed to a panel of senior managers.

Departments are currently informing the 73 successful applicants and unions of the final decision, which will cost the States £6 million in redundancy pay outs.

Treasury Minister Philip Ozouf today said that despite the high take-up for voluntary redundancy, he could not rule out compulsory redundancies during the next few years.
