The table indicates the number of mobile telephones that were purchased for staff and the corresponding number of staff these phones were allocated to, during the periods in questions. These figures include replacement phones that were sought, the majority of which are free under the Framework agreement as negotiated by the Department of Public Enterprise and Reform. Staff members that have been assigned phones for official business have their bill paid for by the Department.
