My Department is currently meeting the statutory 3% target. At the end of 2012, 266 persons were employed in the Department of which 12 members of staff disclosed a disability representing 4.5% of the total number of staff surveyed. Information in respect of bodies and agencies under the aegis of my Department is a day to day matter for those organisations and my Department does not have the information sought by the Deputy.
