The answer

The first female head of department in the Scottish Executive was appointed in 2001 and remains in post. Since eight people currently hold head of department posts, (not including the Permanent Secretary) this is 12.5% of the complement.
The percentage of women in the Senior Civil Service in the Scottish Executive as a whole is currently 31.3%.
