As my Department was established on 2nd June 2011, the information requested by the Deputy is provided from June 2011 onwards.

As a small organisation, this Department is more susceptible to fluctuations or high percentages as a result of long term absences and this was particularly the case for the high percentage in 2014. In 2011 the figure also reflects the fact that it is only based on a six month period.
