The Department has only been in existence since 2001. We have in place a reasonable adjustment fund to help us to meet our obligations under the DDA. In 2004-05 we spent £162,785.38; in 2005-06 £235,172.80; and so far in 2006-07 £120,215.68. In addition the human resource equality and diversity team spent £34,622.78 in 2004-05; £59,333.66 in 2005-06; and £57,335.68 so far in 2006-07. The Department changed its accounting system and to provide information prior to 2004 would result in disproportionate costs.
