In the period 01 March 2011 to date, a total of 89 staff retired from my Department, none of whom have been rehired.

It should be noted that, on occasion, retired public servants may be engaged mainly on a short term basis because of their specific knowledge and expertise in a particular area, for example, to serve on interview boards, complete investigations etc.
