There are 83 general service civil servants in my Department at the grade of Assistant Principal or higher. None of these were recruited to their position from outside of the Civil Service. There are also 38 professional and technical posts at the equivalent of Assistant Principal or higher in my Department. Of this number 26 were recruited from outside the civil service.
