To ask the Scottish Government what its position is on whether its Marine Directorate is adequately resourced, and what percentage of staff vacancies the directorate has had in each year between 2019 and 2024 to date.
The Marine Directorate is adequately resourced to deliver against the First Minister's priorities and to meet its core Statutory and Regulatory obligations. We continually review our workforce management plan to ensure we are recruiting to match our delivery. Although we do not hold the vacancy information requested, you can find a variety of Scottish Government workforce information online, including the latest Scottish Government Workforce Statistics.
