Notes:
The numbers of DFID HCS Staff shown, follow Office for National Statistics (ONS) definitions.
Staff on unpaid maternity leave; unpaid sick leave; unpaid discretionary leave; graduate placements; ministerial staff and special advisers; plus staff on secondment in or out of DFID where we do not meet at least 50% of their costs are all excluded. Similarly consultants, contractors and agency staff are also excluded from these HCS figures.
