308 people (268 full time equivalents) are based at Palatine House, Preston as at January 2015.

Planned levels for 2015-16 are expected to remain around the current level, subject to small levels of turnover. We do not have information yet about the next Comprehensive Spending Review settlement so plans aren’t available beyond 2015-16.
