View answerOne of my appointed Special Advisors has special responsibility for communications.
In 2018 there were three civil servants in my Department who serviced the day-to-day press office requirements of my Department. The staff in question are remunerated at HEO, EO and CO level.
A dedicated communications specialist is assigned to the Early Years Unit of the Department to support the roll out of specific Early Years projects and this work continued in 2018.
