I refer to my question of 8 September 2009, in relation to staffing of the then new Department of Training and Workforce Development and the Minister’s response that indicative details of full-time equivalents (FTEs) and their location, would be known once the implementation plan has been completed, and I ask -
(1) How many TAFE-based FTEs have been transferred to the new Department and will the Minister provide a breakdown by levels?
(2) How many non-TAFE-based FTEs have been transferred and will the Minister provide a breakdown by levels?
(3) Where are the transferred staff located?
(4) What has been the total cost of establishing the new Department of Training and Workforce Development?
