The great majority of the appointments to which the question relates were temporary appointments to grades such as those of summons server, messenger and cleaner. Over a 16 year period, such appointments would almost certainly run into hundreds and the Deputy will appreciate that the compilation of the details sought would involve a disproportionate amount of staff time.
