• Positive 12-hours shifts during day - standby on nights from purpose built accommodation within station grounds – shift = 24hrs

• 14 staff rather than 28 – provision for 5 riders

• Response times same = no change for the public

DCP OVERVIEW

• Voluntary participation –– no redundancy, adjustment by natural wastage– opportunity to transfer to alternative station

• Voluntary participation - significant financial incentive to work DCP system

• Self-rostering system – requirement to work specific number of shifts over defined period

DCP OVERVIEW

• Reduction of 14 staff per station - cost savings up to £400K per pump
