An increase in the number of middle managers means the civil service is facing a growing pay bill, the National Audit Office (NAO) has warned.
Staff numbers have fallen by 1% over the past decade, but there has been a 10% real-terms rise in staff costs, which now stand at £16.4bn a year.
A 67% rise in the numbers in middle management grades accounts for half of that increase in costs.
