Branch | No. of post created | Annual Expenditure (Annual salary calculated on the basis of the mid-point salary of the rank plus administrative overheads) $ (million)
| Administration | 7 | 5 | 1.74 |
| Environmental Health | 292 | 52 | 63.59 |
| Leisure Services | 52 | 99 | 12.91 | 27.17 |
| Culture and Entertainment | 99 | 448 | 27.17 | 105.41 |

The second part asks about the basis on which the Urban Services Department works out the increase in staff for the coming year. In working out the number of additional posts required in 1996/97, the Department mainly bases on the manpower required to implement the policies of the Council and the manpower required for the commissioning of new facilities within the year. To a certain extent, consideration is also given to the manpower required to improve the quality of the existing services.
The third part of the question asks about the total number of posts to be created by the Department in the coming year, the distribution of these posts by branches and their annual expenditure. Under the 1996/97 estimates of expenditure, the Department plans to create 1 009 civil service posts which will be distributed as follows:
Branch | Additional posts planned | Annual Expenditure (calculated on the same basis as above) $ (million)
| Administration | 35 | 8.7 |
| Environmental Health | 665 | 137.5 |
| Leisure Services | 211 | 47.5 |
| Culture and Entertainment | 98 | 37.5 |
| Total | 1 009 | 231.2 |
The last part of the question asks whether the Department will prepare an assessment report on the overall establishment increase and posts to be created in the coming year. According to the established procedures, all proposals on changes in the permanent establishment (including creation and deletion of posts) will first be carefully considered by the Departmental Establishment Committee of the Urban Services Department so as to ensure economy, and only those proposals which are found fully justified would be submitted to the Administration Select Committee for consideration and approval. The Department also regularly reviews the manpower required and deletes the posts which are no longer needed in order to offset the expenditures incurred by the newly created posts.
