Ms Anne Graham:

They are not agency staff. We contract for services such as financial services but the people I am speaking about are based in our office.

We were set up as an organisation in 2009 at a time of economic trouble for the State, and we were subjected to the employment control framework. We were not in a position to recruit beyond 80 staff so we looked at other means of delivering on our mandate by having a number of outsourced service providers, which assisted us in delivering on our mandate.
