Staff numbers can vary from week to week as staff leave and new staff are recruited. To provide staff numbers on specific dates as requested in this question could inadvertently mislead the House.
The question is concerned with changes in the number of school psychologist over the years 2008, 2009 and current figures. The table below presents this information in the most meaningful way as the annual average staffing levels for 2008, 2009 and current staffing as at the first pay period in March 2010.
