Ms Dee Forbes:

I take the Deputy’s point. We did not manage to do it in that timeframe. We are working towards it for the ruling that is coming our way. We will have that information and be as open and informative as we can with it. We have always published our information by salary band and we have also been proactive in monitoring the way in which we are recruiting. We have ensured that, where possible, we have maintained a 50:50 gender balance in recruitment. We have a lot going on but I take the Deputy’s point. I would have liked to have been able to do more in this area. Unfortunately, with everything that has been going on, we have not been able to get to this one but we will have it done in time for the ruling.
