Just over half of government workers who earn more than £50,000 are delivering frontline services.
That's according to Policy and Reform Minister Chris Thomas who revealed the figure in the House of Keys yesterday.
He said there was no clear government definition of what "frontline" actually means.
But using an Australian definition he said the workers fell into a small number of areas:
Noble's overcrowding means audiology drop-in suspended
Government wants permanent paving around TT VIP area
Delays to buses this morning
Changes to 1st time buyers schemes planned
Nobody will lose benefits after MiCards, says minister
Further weather warning in place for later today
Minor Injuries Unit based at Noble's from today
Vandals hit community centre play equipment
