Dear Mr McPherson,
I am writing to confirm that the Department has now completed its search

The Department offers no reward or remuneration to members of staff who
are qualified first aiders. Time can be taken off, as part of the
individual's learning and development, to learn, refresh or update first
aid skills. The Department offers:

* New First Aiders: First Aid at Work - 4 day intensive course
* Certificate Renewal: Refresher Course - 2 day course
* Skills Update: 1 day course.

Time off for these courses must be agreed with the individual's line
manager first.
