There are no staff serving in my Department earning the national minimum wage. Supported work placements in the National Parks and Wildlife Services area of my Department are, however, provided for seven persons with special needs, who are paid at the national minimum wage. The persons concerned may continue to avail of their full disability entitlements from the Department of Social and Family Affairs.
