View answerI can inform the Deputy that, as of 16 December, 2014, the numbers of staff in my Department on career break is as set out in a table. The information is provided in tabular format as requested and, while not requested by the Deputy, I have also included information for staff on career break in the 3-4 year category. The Deputy should note that the term sabbatical is not utilised in the context of leave granted to staff.
