Reply:
In total the NYDA annual report refers to 8 senior management posts that were filled at beginning of the 2015 / 2016 financial year and 5 that were filled at the end of the financial year. The reduction is due to the organizational restructuring programme which saw the overall number of posts reduced.
The tables below indicate the number of senior management posts held before and after the restructuring and the basic salaries and additional benefits including the salary benefits received by the respective senior managers:
