At the outset, I must point out that the Financial Services Ombudsman is independent in the performance of his statutory functions.
The Financial Services Ombudsman has informed me that the information requested by the Deputy is as follows:
| Year | No. of Staff employed by the Financial Services Ombudsman @ year end | Vacancies |
|---|---|---|
| 2005 | 22 | 12 |
| 2006 | 25 | 9 |
| 2007 | 28 | 6 |
| 2008 | 29 | 5 |
| 2009 | 27 | 7 |
| 2010 | 32 | 2 |
| 2011 | 34 | 0 |
| 2012 | 33 | 1 |
| 2013 | 39 | 0 (numbers increased due to maternity cover) |
| 2014 | 34 | 0 |
| 2015 | 31.5 (to 21.09.15) | 2.5 |
