The need for temporary position relief depends on leave and other absences of the position's occupant; short-term work of a project nature; and management decisions related to filling vacancies. Of necessity, these factors are highly variable. As there is no specific budget allocation for temporary and contract positions there would be a considerable administrative effort needed to fully research annual expenditure by all the agencies under the Health portfolio.
