To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, how many officials in her Department who received the (a) exceeded, (b) met and (c) must improve performance mark under the Civil Service Employment Policy Performance Management System (i) had a disability, (ii) worked full-time and (iii) worked part-time in 2013-14.

The number of officials in my Department who received the (a) exceeded, (b) met and (c) must improve performance mark under the Civil Service Employment Policy Performance Management System that (i) had a disability, (ii) worked full-time and (iii) worked part-time in 2013-14 is set out below.

The response relates only to Home Civil Servants as Northern Ireland Civil Servants (NICS) seconded staff have a different performance management system, with different markings.

* Given the small numbers of staff involved, fewer than five, it would not be appropriate to provide a greater break down as to do so would risk the identification of the individuals concerned.

** Figures for “Must improve” have been merged with “Met”; given the small numbers of staff involved it would not be appropriate to provide a greater break down as to do so would risk the identification of the individuals concerned.
