The total number of people currently employed in my Department is 244 full time equivalents of which 5.7% of staff have disclosed a disability. My Department is meeting the statutory 3% target of employment of people with a disability under the Disability Act 2005 and this target is monitored on an annual basis. There has been no recruitment of staff with a disability during the period 1 January 2011 to date in 2012.
