Please see below the staffing budget allocated (not expenditure) for PHSO’s Media, Marketing and Communication Team:

Please note that the structure of the team, the numbers of staff and the work they carry out has evolved significantly since 2006. Therefore the budgets for each year are not comparable.
We do not hold information relating to the budget prior to 2006 and so are unable to provide you with data for 2000, 2002 and 2005.
I hope the information is helpful.
Yours sincerely
