The 2006 National Disability Authority Report on Compliance with Part 5 of the Disability Act 2005 on Employment of People with Disabilities in the Public Service indicates that my Department has met the 3% employment quota for people with disabilities. The actual percentage is 3.1%.

3 people with disabilities were hired by my Department from outside the civil service from 2002 to 2008, one for each of the years 2003, 2005 and 2006.
