Attrition has remained stable at about 3% monthly average for most of the department’s life. These figures are not considered out of line for a department that has a staff profile as above. Many of those who have left to date have been planned leavers who have moved to other government departments due to their loan or job rotation coming to an end.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 20/11/2018 16:27:03 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
