Department for Work and Pensions: Vacancies
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent assessment she has made of the potential implications for her policies of trends in the number of vacancies in her Department.
Answered by Andrew Western
DWP is a demand led organisation which determines the level of staffing resource required to deliver our services. Workforce Plans, which include recruitment, set out detailed plans to deliver the required level of resource.
Workforce Plans are regularly reviewed to meet latest demand and new policy requirements, and the Department prioritises resource across operational areas.
