Answer
- Headcount and financial data is not routinely held and reported categorisation and format specified above. To collate the information under these headings would be resource intensive and HSSD is unable to undertake this without diverting staff from business critical work.
Set out below however, is an analysis and categorisation of 2012 HSSD budgeted posts that was undertaken earlier in this year. This analysis is not available for previous years and does not include a breakdown of salaries. Total HSSD staff costs (salary and on-costs) as set out in the 2012 business plan is £126,933,900.
