I propose to take Questions Nos. 319 and 320 together.

The grade titles of employees serving in the Department of Health and Children at end December 1997 and end December 2008 are detailed in the table below.

The function of civil servants employed in my Department is to provide support to myself and the Government by:

advising on the strategic development of the health system including policy and legislation;

supporting their parliamentary, statutory and international functions;

evaluating the performance of the health and social services; and

working with other sectors to enhance people's health and well-being.

As such all staff employed in my Department could be considered to have administrative roles and functions, e.g. social workers in the Adoption Board. However, a number of these staff would deal directly with the public on a professional level.
