Answer

The information provided to the Committee was prepared by DfI officials, using local knowledge and reflects business units that provide or directly support key frontline services in Roads Service.

The corporate organisation reporting structures for DfI on the HR system, HRConnect, does not align to the clerical approach used by DfI officials to provide the previous information.

The table below provides a breakdown of the number of full time equivalent staff in each DfI business group as at month ending February 2021.
