Ms Clare McGrath:
I would point to the moratorium; it affects us as much as every other Department, going from an authorised number of 2,200 in 2007 to 1,620 now - albeit that the MPS moved to the OGP. That has an impact on our abilities. Our responsibilities in certain areas have not changed. So then one has to use alternative methods to fill that.
