The data in the table are based on information on serving non-industrial civil servants, on whole time equivalent basis, supplied by Departments/Offices to my Department. The figures for 2005 are provisional pending confirmation by Departments/Offices. Variations in the figures for individual Departments/Offices will be affected by the transfer of functions between Departments and from Departments to other state bodies over the period. In addition to these figures there are another 2,000 (approximately) industrial civil servants. This number is subject to seasonal factors and they are mainly concentrated in the Office of Public Works and the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
