My Department is committed to supporting the ongoing development of staff at all grades through its Learning & Development Unit. This is an integral part of the Human Resource function in my Department. The information requested by the Deputy is not recorded by my Department in the format outlined and, therefore, it is not possible for my Department to provide this data.
