As the Deputy will be aware, under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, management of the courts is the responsibility of the Courts Service which is independent in exercising its functions.
However, in order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have had enquiries made and the Courts Service has informed me that the total number of serving staff in the Courts Service is 1,006, which equates to 945 full time equivalent posts. The following table sets out a breakdown by grade and location.
