I propose to take Questions Nos. 139, 147 and 163 together.
Statistics in relation to whole-time equivalent staff numbers in my Department are compiled at the end of each calendar month. On 31st December 2008, there were 211.96 whole-time equivalent staff in my Department, while on 31st December 2009, there were 198.1 whole-time equivalent staff in my Department, that is 13.86 fewer whole-time equivalent staff of year end.
It is not possible to give an accurate breakdown for the grades requested who were serving in my Department on 1st January 1998. The earliest records held in my Department in the format requested only go back to 2000. The information requested in relation to the grades who were serving on 31st December, 2001, 31st December 2006 and 31st December, 2009 is set out in the table.
