The information requested is not readily available within my Department and it would require a substantial amount of time to compile the details sought.
The work of the Department and the wider Education and Training sector includes the use of a diverse range of outsourcing arrangements relating to such areas as the school building programme, education and training courses at various levels, services provided for teachers and special needs assistants and a range of corporate functions for education providers such as ICT support, payroll, HR, waste management, cleaning, security etc.
If the Deputy have a particular interest regarding a specific area of public service provision, my officials will endeavour to supply the details as far as possible.
