The table outlines the number of staff in my Department primarily employed in pay roll, in financial management, in human resources management, in means assessment, in procurement, and in ICT Services.

With regard to the Agencies under the aegis of my Department the breakdown of staff under the various categories is a day to day matter for the Agencies concerned. I have asked the Agencies to respond directly to the Deputy with the information sought.

* Purchasing functions are distributed throughout the Department. The role of the Procurement Co-ordination Unit is to assist the Business Services Unit in the procurement of goods and services, in line with public procurement legislation and guidelines. The Unit also provides an advisory service to those staff of the Department and its Offices who are involved in the procurement process.
