There are in total 535 laptops deployed across the Department and there are no specific plans to upgrade any laptops this year.
No tablets have been purchased by the Department for production use, however a small number of devices are being evaluated at present in the context of increased requirements for mobile working. In addition, some staff have been authorised, subject to appropriate security clearance, to use their own tablet devices.
