The information requested by the Deputy in respect of my Department and the Office of Government Procurement, which is also part of my Department, is set out in the following tables. I wish to advise the Deputy that the number of staff with a disability noted only reflect employees that have declared a disability, given that the declaration of a disability is voluntary. While all posts in my Department are appointed on a full-time basis, the Deputy should be aware that the Civil Service is a leader in providing a range of flexible working opportunities for staff.
