Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
Date received: 13 November 2018
Date responded: 11 December 2018
The number of transfers/secondments from the core Scottish Government to a Scottish Government public body/agency/executive agency in each of the last three years. Information should include a breakdown of the numbers that went to each different agency, and broken down for each year.
Please note the following when referring to this data: This data shows all instances where a staff member has moved from the core Scottish Government to any other associated body (see appendix below the table for details of which bodies are included). A move is any instance in which a member of staff finishes an assignment in the core Scottish Government and begins a new one in an associated body. We do not hold information on the reasons for these moves (eg. transfers/promotions). Secondments do not apply to internal moves within the civil service only to external moves. Staff in this case means individuals directly employed by the Scottish Government. The last three years has been taken to mean the last three complete calendar years.

*NDPBS – Non Departmental Public Bodies
Appendix – Data held for Scottish Government Associated Bodies
- Scottish Government only holds staffing information for organisations to which it provides an HR service. Data are available for all core SG directorates, most executive agencies and some non-ministerial departments but is not collected for other organisations. The following executive agencies operate their own HR service and are therefore not included; Scottish Prisons Service, Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, Scottish Courts and Tribunal Service and Registers of Scotland
- Executive non-departmental public bodies are not consistently included in the data (unless the Scottish Government provides them an HR service) as these staff members are not civil servants.
- Further information regarding staffing at public bodies is available on the National Public Bodies Directory which can be found at www.gov.scot/Topics/Government/public-bodies/about/Bodies.
The Scottish Government is committed to publishing all information released in response to Freedom of Information requests. View all FOI responses at http://www.gov.scot/foi-responses
