Dear Department of Finance,

This is informal / administrative FOI request in nature -

Would you have any statistics about contractor financial expenditure from previous and current financial years and what type of aggregates and non-aggregates are available?

Is there some type of schema or any document that describes how the statistics are done for contractor expenditure e.g. vs full time employee / hiring expenditure.

I'm also interested on what time period/s are being tracked for these kind of statistics to assists on writing correct requests. Thank you!

Yours faithfully,

MissAnonymous
