Question : Please provide the number of non-civil service contract staff employed and the level of
expenditure involved in 2002-03. Are there any plans to employ more or less non-civil
service contract staff in 2003-04 ? If so, what are the reasons ? And what will be the
number of staff and the level of expenditure involved ?
Asked by : Hon. LEE Cheuk-yan
Reply : As at 17 March 2003, the Architectural Services Department has incurred a total amount of
$10.38M for employment of 36 non-civil service contract (NCSC) staff in 2002-03. It is
estimated that the number of NCSC staff employed in the Department and the related
expenditure will be reduced by 6 and $0.99M respectively in 2003-04 as a result of cessation
of employment of NCSC staff upon completion of several time-limited projects.
