Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many civil servants are working on the development of a National Pharmaceutical Agency, broken down by (a) headcount and (b) full-time equivalent figure.
Answer
Civil servants operate flexibly across a range of policies and programmes according to the specific requirements of the work at any time. They do not, as a matter of course, record the proportion of their time that they spend working on particular matters. It is therefore not possible to say specifically how many hours were spent by civil servants involved in this work.
