Central government workforce initial release

An initial estimate of the numbers of consultants, contractors and agency staff working in central Government departments, their agencies and NDPBs. This is the result of a Cabinet Office scoping exercise capturing key workforce management information. Workforce numbers provided are Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) count, direct headcount, and are as at 31 March 2010. Paybill cost information is also provided and covers the financial year 2009-10. Information is supplied for each organisation separately, and are broken down by payroll (permanent and temporary) and non-payroll staff (agency staff, Interim managers, specialist contractors, and consultants). These figures are management information; they are not offical statistics.
