NOTE:
Information extracted from the Data Warehouse 31 March 2008.
The Cumulative Average (FTE) for the period 1 January 2007 to 29 February 2008 is shown in Table 2.
The "Cumulative Average FTE" is the average number of FTE engaged during each financial year of the period 1 January 2007 to 29 February 2008.
A "0" indicates the engagement of personnel, however the number of hours recorded as per the data warehouse is too low to register an FTE once the figures are rounded.
· Data is only provided until 29 February 2008, as the data is incomplete for the month of March 2008, pending the processing of March 2008 invoices.
