The increase in staffing in 2011 and 2012 is primarily as a result of the integration of staff and functions from the former FAS and the Community Welfare Service of the HSE.

The Department do not record hours worked on the pay roll. The working hours for civil servants pre Haddington Road Agreement were 34.45 hours per week (net), increased to 37 hours per week (net) under the Agreement with effect from 1 July 2013.
