My Department's Human Resources Division uses workforce planning processes and undertakes recruitment via the Public Appointments Service (PAS) or direct recruitment competitions to fill prioritised vacancies.

I wish to advise the Deputy that the number of vacancies in the Regional Veterinary Offices currently stands at 85.  Work is actively ongoing to fill vacancies in the Regional Veterinary Offices, with assignments expected to be completed across a range of grades and locations in the immediate future.

The detailed information requested by the Deputy is provided in the table attached.
