<p>For management and staffing purposes, the Equality Hub is an integrated part of
the Cabinet Office. The Cabinet Office provides laptops and mobile phones to over
10,000 users in 2023-24. The Cabinet Office supplies fully security encrypted mobiles
and laptops. We do not issue memory sticks or external drives.</p><p>There are occasional
incidents where equipment is reported lost or stolen. Staff are required to report
such incidents, and cases are investigated. Any loss is unfortunate and should be
avoided, but invariably reflects that such devices may be taken out of a workplace
environment.</p><p>The following table includes the numbers and costs related to the
lost/stolen devices for the Cabinet Office as a whole.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>
