The total number of staff (whole time equivalents) employed in my Department in the years requested by the Deputy is listed in the following table:

* The figures quoted relate to whole-time equivalents employed at the end of December each year. It includes staff working in the core Department, the Adoption Board, the Office of the Ombudsman for Children, the Disability Appeals Office, the Health Repayment Scheme Appeals Office and the General Register Office and Social Services Inspectorate (where appropriate).
