Staffing
                            
The Land Registry maintains a well-trained, highly flexible
                                  team of staff. Civil servants form the core staff of the Land
                                  Registry to ensure stability in the organisation and quality of
                                  service to customers. Non-civil Service Contract (NCSC) staff
                                  are employed to supplement the core staff thus enabling the
                                  department to respond to changes in operational or business
                                  needs in the most cost-effective manner.

                                  permanent staff and 141 NCSC staff. The permanent staff
