The percentage of persons employed by my Department in 2006 who disclosed that they have a disability, was 2.9% of the total staff number. The disability census for 2007 is currently being carried out.

As the Public Appointments Service carries out the recruitment from outside the Civil Service for all Government Departments, including my own, my Department does not have any such details requested by the Deputy.
