Note:
(1) Staff per 1,000 population are based on
GROS mid-year population estimates.
(2) Staff numbers may fluctuate over time as a
result of various factors, including changes in the way
services are provided and changes in the numbers of
vacancies.
(3) Staffing levels may vary between councils as a
result of differences in the way services are provided.
Factors which may have an influence on staffing
numbers include contracting out or commissioning of
services and partnership arrangements with neighbouring
councils.
(4) Major recent changes in staffing numbers include
changes in the arrangements for home care services in
Glasgow City (between 1998 and 1999) and Dumfries &
Galloway (between 1999 and 2000) and the inclusion of
homeless and childrens' fieldwork services in Glasgow from
2003.
(5) Improved recording practices in Orkney Islands
Council in 2000, and in Shetland since 2001, have led to an
increase in data accuracy.
Trends should therefore be interpreted with caution.
(6) Perth & Kinross returns did not include
chidren & families or criminal justice staff in 2001
and 2002.
(7) In 2004, data for Falkirk was not provided. 2003
figures for Falkirk have been used in the Scotland totals.
(8)
WTE information has been estimated for
779 part-time posts in 2004.
