My Department engages agency staff from time to time where in-house resources are not readily available. Payment for these services is made directly to the agency through whom the staff are engaged. The salary paid to the staff is therefore a matter between the agency and the individual and my Department is not party to the information sought by the Deputy.

My Department engages agency staff from time to time where in-house resources are not readily available. These staff are mainly involved in the provision of healthcare services at military medical facilities. The number engaged can vary from week to week depending on the requirements of the military authorities. At present, agency workers are providing physiotherapy, psychology, dental, social worker and nursing services.
