The number of permanent civil servants serving in my Department at 30 April in each of the years 1980-1987 was as follows:
|
30 April 1980 — 977 |
|
30 April 1981 — 1,068 |
|
30 April 1982 — 1,042 |
|
30 April 1983 — 1,010 |
|
30 April 1984 — 979 |
|
30 April 1985 — 937 |
|
30 April 1986 — 904 |
|
30 April 1987 — 876 |
The staff cost in each of the years 1980-1985, inclusive, is as set out in the published Appropriation Accounts, while the provisional outturn for 1986 and the estimated cost for 1987 are as set out in the Revised Estimates Volume for 1987.
The role of each employee in the performance of the Department's functions varies between grades and between individual members of those grades. I would also refer the Deputy to the information contained in the State Directory.
