(1) 2012 data is monthly data as at 31 March. Notes: 1. Headcount totals are unlikely to equal the sum of components. 2. The new headcount methodology from 2010 onwards is not fully comparable with previous years data due to improvements that make it a more stringent count of absolute staff numbers. Further information on the headcount methodology is available in the census publication. Source: Health and Social Care Information Centre Non-Medical Workforce Census |
