Turning to question (a), on the basis of the cost centres mentioned in paragraph 1, the number of staff deployed for sports development work to the total establishment of the integrated SDB in 1994/95 was 144: 352. The corresponding ratio for staff costs was $51.1M : $87M.

As regards question (b), the SDB itself does not employ any coaches. All such staff are employed by the HKSI. There were 70 of them (consisting of 28 permanent and 42 non-permanent staff) looking after 11 residential and 7 non-residential sports at the HKSI in 1994/95. The total staff costs amounted to $26.2 million. Details on the coaching staff employed by individual National Sports Associations are not available as they are met from the block grants to the associations and do not form part of the SDB/HKSI establishment.
