The latest Public Sector Staffing Statistics report,
published today, Monday 15 September, shows that the
overall Government headcount fell by 288 between June
2024 and June 2025.
The report highlights reductions across central
administrative departments, including the Cabinet Office,
Department for the Economy, Digital Services, People
Services, and Treasury and Exchequer.
The Chief Minister, Deputy Lyndon Farnham, said: “We
have strengthened frontline services, particularly in health
and education, by recruiting more people into permanent
roles, while at the same time introducing a recruitment
freeze in other areas. This has enabled us to reduce the
overall size of the public sector, ensuring government
works more effectively, and that resources remain
focused on the services Islanders rely on most.”
