The number of appointees to statutory boards under the aegis of the Department since 1997 is 1331.

The Department has compiled a list of these appointees which has been forwarded to the Deputy under separate cover due to the volume of data involved. This list takes no account of duplicate entries in the case of board members who may have been re-appointed to a board or appointed to more than one board within the timeframe involved.
