I have set out in the table the estimated cost to my Department for 2008 and 2009 of incremental pay increases for all staff in and under the aegis of my Department. These figures are based on existing personnel numbers and do not reflect any changes in numbers or profile of staff that might take place in the future. Some of the factors that can influence this are resignations, career breaks, retirements and decentralisation. The figures for the years 2002 to 2007 are not readily available and compiling this information would require a disproportionate amount of time and resources.
