The biggest spender was the Chief Operating Office, which spent £348,152 during the period, including £190,756 on hotel costs, £129,456 on air travel and £27,940 on rental subsidies.
In total, States departments have spent £589,460 on the three areas since 1 January 2018.
The figures raise more questions about the hiring policies to fill roles in the civil service led by chief executive Charlie Parker. The use and funding of interim staff recruited from the UK, particularly at senior level, has been the subject of fierce criticism.
Mr Parker was appointed to his role in late 2017 with a view to streamlining government services under his OneGov initiative.
The Chief Operating Office, which comes under the political responsibility of Treasury Minister Susie Pinel and Assistant Chief Minister Richard Buchanan, was one of the new departments introduced under OneGov, with its remit covering human resources, modernisation, digital and commercial services.
Its director general is John Quinn, who was recruited from Westminster City Council where he worked when Mr Parker was the chief executive. No local applicants were interviewed for his role.
The senior management team also includes Mark Grimley, group director of people and corporate services, John Laverick, interim chief information officer, and Maria Benbow, director of commercial services.
The next biggest spender was Health and Community Services, which is by far the largest States department, which spent £144,306, the vast majority of which went on hotel bills.
Meanwhile, Children, Young People, Education and Skills spent £66,027 during the period, Treasury and Exchequer spent £16,388 and the Chief Executive’s Office, which is headed by Mr Parker, spent £14,587.
The vast majority of spending on air travel and accommodation for temporary workers was on staff other than the directors and director generals who head up the departments.
