• The Department continues to implement stringent measures to reduce the staff vacancy rate.
• This rate was reduced from above 20% at the beginning of 2007/08 financial year to about 11% by the end of the financial year.
• Critical posts for service delivery have now been filled.
• This resulted in increased budget pressure on the operational allocation for the Department. Since 2006/07 the personnel costs ratio increased from 0,78:1 to 0,96:1 which implies that for every rand spent on goods and services, the same amount is spent on personnel.
• The Department also continues to monitor its spending trends on a monthly basis.
