Details of the Department's Units and of the staff assigned to them are outlined in the following table. At the end of September 2010, there were 429.70 whole-time equivalents employed across the Minister's Offices, the Secretary General's Office and 38 Units in the Core Department. In addition there were 47.65 whole-time equivalents employed across a number of other offices which are outlined in a separate table. A summary organisation chart of my Department will be forwarded to the Deputy.
