Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
The requested data is not held centrally in a reportable format.
However, Defra is committed to thorough performance management and has in place robust processes to ensure that those who fall below the expected standards are supported to improve in a timely manner. Those who cannot improve their performance, despite this additional support, may be dismissed.
