My Department has a dedicated communications and media relations function who manage public relations and media queries, alongside digital marketing, campaigns, events, and internal communications. My Department may occasionally engage external expertise in public relations where specialist or extensive support is required.

The information which the Deputy requested in relation to my department is outlined in the table below. Please note, it is not possible to identify expenditure on public relations prior to 2019 due to restructuring of Department.
