          <inserted>The government does not have a TVSP target for FTEs. While each agency has a savings task over the forward estimates, any FTE reductions associated with this task are notional, based on estimates of how the savings across the forward estimates may be delivered and may or may not require TVSPs to be offered. Chief executives have the flexibility to deliver the savings in the manner that best suits the needs of their agency.</inserted>
