Following implementation of the Patten recommendations, the number of police officers in PSNI fell from just over 11,000 at March 2001 to 7,738 at March 2012. As a result, PSNI has placed reliance on temporary staff to cover skill shortages and vacancies in a variety of roles, both policing and non-policing, spending some £100 million on agency staff since 2005. A number of those temporary workers had previously left the PSNI with generous severance packages. PSNI estimates total savings of £22 million through the use of temporary rather than permanent staff over the period 2005 to 2012. Over the last ten years, some 2,740 temporary workers have been engaged of which 39 per cent were former police officers who had retired under one of PSNI's severance schemes. They accounted for 56 per cent of the agency days procured, with an average length of assignment of 223 days. Of the 5,600 officers who retired under PSNI's severance schemes, around 19 per cent were later re-employed in a temporary position. PSNI has been reducing its reliance on temporary workers and by March 2012 around 400 remained in post, almost 300 being former police officers who had retired under PSNI's severance schemes. The report also comments on the use for a number of years of a single recruitment agency without any competitive tendering, and there are concerns about some of the former officers being paid though limited companies, which can be a means of minimising personal tax obligations
