Regarding the cost of the Department’s new brand a spokesperson said:

The cost of developing the Department’s new brand was £5250 excluding VAT. In addition, it cost £2250 to update our website and £1404 for signage with our new brand. To date we have spent £91 on stationery specific to the change of brand. We take individual decisions about whether to rebrand existing literature, services and so on, in order to minimise costs and waste.
