The change in the number of public servants,(on a full-time equivalent or FTE basis), employed across the Public Service at the end of quarter 4 in each of the years from 2014 to 2018 is set out below. For 2019 the numbers employed at the end of the second quarter are compared with the numbers at the end of quarter 4 in 2018.
| 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 (as at 30 June 2019) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Civil Service | 108 | 226 | 818 | 1,267 | 1,337 | 1,680 |
| Civil Service Industrials | (54) | (59) | (10) | 139 | 32 | 34 |
| Defence | (12) | (131) | (41) | 45 | (254) | (237) |
| Education | 2,455 | 2,388 | 3,368 | 4,301 | 2,847 | 413 |
| Health | (2,086) | 5,780 | 2,984 | 3,800 | 3,799 | 1,543 |
| Justice | (234) | 247 | 378 | 513 | 472 | 35 |
| Local Authority | (757) | (156) | 232 | 587 | 893 | 1,246 |
| NCSA | 2,086 | (51) | 434 | 356 | 692 | 305 |
| Total | 1,507 | 8,243 | 8,163 | 11,007 | 9,817 | 5,018 |
The increase in 2014 under Non-Commercial State Agencies (NCSAs) and the corresponding decrease under Health arose from the transfer of the Child and Family Agency to being under the aegis of the Department of Children and Youth Affairs.
