My Department oversees workforce planning for the local government sector, including the monitoring of local government sector employment levels. To this end, my Department gathers aggregate quarterly data on staff numbers in each local authority on a whole time equivalent basis.

However, granular data, in terms of the detailed breakdown of the number of outdoor staff employed by local authorities, is not collected and consequently is not available in my Department. The relevant information would be available from individual local authorities.
