I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. Before I give the honourable member the number, I will
make the point that 2022 has been the most difficult year for schools dealing
with absent staff as they came down with COVID. I want to thank members of the
teacher flying squad who made themselves available at short notice to assist
those schools facing such difficulty, certainly in the first half of 2022.
In 2022 to date, the department has
