Printed totals of the ministry's staffing table (FTEs). The totals do not match the table's own 14 department rows, which add up to 45 budgeted vacancies, 635 FTEs in budget and 460 unbudgeted vacancies (printed: 51, 644 and 451); 590 + 51 would also be 641, not 644. The narrative's 58% target matches the row sums (635 of 1,095). The narrative gives occupancy as 53.8%. Staat B (the personnel statement in the numbers book) gives 590 filled, 506 vacancies, 1,096 required positions, 46 budgeted vacancies costing Cg 2,590,423.74 and 636 budgeted posts; 590 of 1,096 works out at 53.8% (this percentage is not printed in Staat B). Every figure in the memorandum's staffing table is the same as in the 2026 budget's table (2026 budget, English edition, pp. 87-88); only some department names changed. The memorandum gives total Justice personnel costs for 2027 of Cg 81,764 thousand, 'including retroactive payments, expected overtime and other personnel-related expenditure'; Staat B budgets Cg 69,234,100.58 in salary costs for the 636 budgeted posts and notes that some estimated overtime is not included in its salary details.

Memorandum table (EN 37): 236 filled + 59 budgeted vacancies = 295 budgeted posts, plus 144 unbudgeted vacancies = 439 establishment. Occupancy is printed as 54% (236/439 = 53.8%), and the ministry calls the shortage "(too) high". The memorandum says unbudgeted vacancies fell "from 165 to 144" but does not say when the 165 applied (EN 38). The Dutch personnel statement Staat B (NL 68) prints 236 current personnel, 212 vacancies, 448 required personnel, 58 budgeted vacancies and 294 budgeted personnel; that implies 154 unbudgeted vacancies and 52.7% occupancy (both computed, not printed). Its education-level breakdown on the same page adds to 293. The Formatieplan (NL 58) prints 293 budgeted posts, 58 budgeted vacancies and 448 workplaces. The documents do not explain the gaps between these counts (establishment 439 vs 448; budgeted vacancies 59 vs 58; budgeted posts 295, 294 and 293). Lowest occupancy by department (EN 37): the Department of Governance Resources and Support (DMO) 0 of 2 posts filled; Foreign Relations and the Secretariat of the Council of Ministers 33% each; ICT 34%; Interior and Kingdom Relations 37%; Legal Affairs and Legislation 41%; P&O 48%; Fire Department 59 of 123 (printed 49%; 59/123 = 48.0%). A crisis team has been appointed for DMO and Facility Management, and only 2 HR advisers work for P&O (EN 38).

Printed 63% (134/214 = 62.6%). Budget room for 163 FTE (134 filled + 29 funded vacancies); 51 more positions are unfunded. Tax Administration: 98 of 148 filled (66%); Audit and Investigation 3 of 23 (13%). Only three management positions are filled, one of them acting. Staat B, the personnel statement in the numbers book (NL 69), agrees on 134 filled, 29 funded vacancies and 163 budgeted positions, but prints a total required establishment of 213 (not 214) with 79 vacancies, which works out to 50 unfunded vacancies (not 51) and 62.9% occupancy. Two EN rows do not add up: Inspectorate is printed with 32 current FTE (the rows then sum to 135, not 134) and Department of Finance with 10 unbudgeted vacancies (rows sum to 50, not 51). EN puts total personnel costs at Cg 26 million, including Cg 14 million for current staff, Cg 3 million for funded vacancies and Cg 6 million for cost-of-living allowance and early-retirement (VUT) benefits; Staat B lists Cg 16.87 million (current staff Cg 13.63 million + funded vacancies Cg 3.24 million).

Matches Staat B, the personnel statement in the Dutch numbers book (NL 73): 169 current staff, 65 vacancies of which 13 are budgeted (so 52 unbudgeted), 182 budgeted positions and 234 required positions; Staat B budgets Cg 18,218,853 for the 182 budgeted positions. The memorandum's text says the ministry 'generally operates at 73%' of capacity, but its table and the 169/234 count give 72%. Lowest occupancy: BIE SXM (not spelled out in the source) has 0 of 3 posts filled, all unbudgeted; among the other departments, Statistics has 6 of 11 (55%), which the memorandum calls the most understaffed, and Economy, Transport and Telecommunication 9 of 14 (64%). The Inspectorate of Economic Affairs has 80 of 122 posts filled (66%) and holds 41 of the 52 unbudgeted posts; the ministry says this will be addressed through a revised job book. No reference date for the count is printed.

Figures are from the ministry's own text: "106 of the total 146 positions are filled (73%)", 12 vacancies budgeted, about 81% if they are filled. The table on the same page totals differently: 107 filled of 145 (73%), 12 budgeted vacancies, 119 posts in the budget and 26 unbudgeted vacancies. Its row labelled "Total staffing" (53 filled, 10 budgeted vacancies, 84 posts) does not equal the sum of the nine department rows above it (55 filled, 2 budgeted vacancies, 62 posts); the source does not explain the difference. EN 144 says 13 vacancies are reserved. The personnel annex (Staat B, NL 74) gives 106 current staff, 145 required posts (106 of 145 is about 73%; no percentage is printed there), 13 budgeted vacancies (Cg 907,324), 119 budgeted posts and 39 vacancies in total.

Counts are FTEs (full-time equivalents). The memorandum prints 76% occupancy, which is budgeted FTEs (146 filled + 5 funded vacancies = 151) divided by the 198-post establishment; posts actually filled are 146 of 198 (73.7%). The ministry says it is understaffed by about 24%, which matches the 47 vacancies with no budget (47 of 198); counting all 52 open posts, 26% are empty. It also says necessary positions are missing from the establishment plan, which needs revising. Lowest share of posts filled: the Public Health department (6 of 12) and Social Development (5 of 10), both 50%. Most open posts: the Collective Prevention Service (11 of 33, all unbudgeted), the Labour Affairs Service (9 of 29) and the Public Health Inspectorate (8 of 27). Staat B in the numbers book gives the same counts (146 filled, 52 vacancies, 198 formation, 5 budgeted vacancies, 151 budgeted) with a budgeted personnel cost of Cg 15,797,842.04. That is far below the Cg 55.7 million personnel-cost total in the memorandum, which also includes the Cg 38.5 million BZV health-insurance contribution paid to SZV.

Of 366 positions (FTE), 336 are in the budget: 283 filled and 53 funded vacancies. Another 30 vacancies are unbudgeted. The table prints occupancy as 77% (283 ÷ 366 = 77.3%). The Public Education Service has 193 of 236 positions filled, with 43 funded vacancies; about 50% of its vacancies relate to staff for the Educational Care Center, which becomes operational in August 2027. The Inspectorate has 13 of 22 filled (59%); the ministry says its 9 unbudgeted vacancies against 13 FTE indicate "a structural shortage of inspection capacity". Educational Innovations has 8 of 19 filled (42%). The ministry says the unbudgeted vacancies indicate that the establishment is "insufficiently aligned with the actual work", and that without proactive workforce planning, adjusted budgets and flexible deployment of staff, essential programmes risk delay or lost effectiveness. Two asterisks in the table (Staff Bureau 9*, Sport 11*) have no footnote. Cross-check: Staat B (NL 71) prints 283 current staff, 53 budgeted vacancies and 336 budgeted personnel, and the Formatieplan (NL 58) prints 336 and 53; but both give 367 positions in total (Staat B: 84 vacancies; 283 ÷ 367 = 77.1%). That is one more than the memorandum's 366, and the source does not explain the difference. Staat B puts the cost of the 336 budgeted positions at Cg 31,955,802.
