The Council does not generally budget for agency spend as it is expected that the cost is funded through vacancies within the core staffing budget hence the low budget figures. |
Please note that staffing has been picked up in its broadest sense including training, recruitment and other ancillary costs that subsist.
(iv) Annual percentage turnover rate
