The table lists the number of permanent staff and temporary staff employed in each local authority as returned to my Department for the end of June 2009. The corresponding figures for June 2007 and June 2008 are included for comparative purposes. The table shows the change in staffing levels in each local authority over the period in question.

Total numbers of permanent and temporary staff show reductions between June 2008 and June 2009. Information being supplied in respect of the period to September 2009 is expected to show a further significant reduction in overall numbers.
