Departmental Pay Dan Rogerson To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the cost of (a) salaries for permanent Civil Service posts, (b) salaries for permanent non-Civil Service posts and (c) payments to temporary or agency workers in his Department was in each month since May 2005. Mr. Bradshaw The Department employs permanent and temporary civil servants, and temporary non-civil servants. Temporary staff are employed for a variety of reasons, including to cover short-term vacancies, such as the need for administrative support; to fill posts temporarily because they are likely to be relocated or because structural changes are being implemented; and to provide skills that the Department does not have but needs urgently and/or on a short-term basis. Salaries for permanent and temporary civil servants for each month since May 2005 are shown in the following table:

It includes people on secondment to other organisations but not those on secondment to the Department. It does not include employer's costs for national insurance and pensions. Amounts for permanent and temporary civil servants cannot be identified separately. Figures can on occasions vary significantly from month to month, often because of the timing of the implementation of pay awards and the payment of arrears.| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Department does not employ permanent non-civil servants.
