Although 32 members of staff have spent time on activities described under heading 9 during 2020, all of them have spent very much less than 25% of their time on such work. Therefore, the automatically calculated FTE figure - 8 - is misleading. In fact we estimate that the FTE figure for our organisation is around 0.7.
