I can confirm that apart from one Press Adviser my Department has no dedicated staff for media, marketing, social media etc. The Department has a Communications Unit, comprising five staff, which incorporates the Press Office, and which deals with elements of internal and external communications, such as the website, staff information, press queries etc, as well as other corporate functions.
