My Department is currently organised into six Divisions, which broadly reflect distinct functional units. However there is also a substantial degree of co-operation and interaction between these Divisions. Table 2 outlines the current number of staff at each grade within each Division of my Department. This structure will change during the month of July as a result of the retirement of an Assistant Secretary in the Department whose post will not be filled.
The number of staff within each Agency under the aegis of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Innovation at 31 March 2010, is set out in Table 1. The deployment of staff within agencies is a day to day matter for each agency and I have no function in the matter.
