The total number of staff appointed to permanent positions in this Department since 1994 is 1,080. This figure includes replacements for staff who have retired, resigned or left the Department for other reasons such as promotion, transfer or career break. It also includes officers who previously served in permanent positions in other Departments or offices.
It should be noted that the above figure relates to people and not posts, as over the period in question a significant number of people would, successively, have been appointed to the same permanent post, due to promotions, leaving the service and so forth.
