The increase is also partially a result of the later withdrawal of contingent personnel.

The increase of 130,000 under posts is a result of changes in the staffing table owing to the abolition of one General Service (Other level) post and the establishment of one P 2 post for an information systems officer rather than the more basic information technology support functions provided at the General Service post level, and the delayed impact of one D 2 post established in the biennium 2004 2005.
