In my Department there are currently eight staff on career breaks.

The eight comprise of two Clerical Officers, four Executive Officers, one Administrative Officer and one Assistant Principal Officer.  There are no staff in my Department hired temporarily to cover those on career break.

I have asked the State Agencies under the aegis of my Department to provide the Deputy with the information requested.  If you do not receive a reply from the Agencies within ten working days, please advise my private office.
