The layout of the Estimates has been altered to introduce only one head for the Department as a whole (omitting the Housing Division which because of its organization and financial arrangements continues to be treated as a separate unit). The opportunity has also been taken to show the staff broken down into the four main departmental divisions of Headquarters, Cleansing, Hygiene, and Amenities and General Divisions.
