Notes: WTE stands for the whole time equivalent for each post and is expressed as a figure between 0 and 1.
Where LAs were unable to provide vacancies breakdowns, vacancies were assumed to be <6 months.
Due to reclassification and staff groups not previously included, Glasgow has reported a large increase of staff and vacancies.
South Lanarkshire were unable to determine the number of vacancies in Adult Services so the July 2005 figure was used.
Aberdeenshire, East Dunbartonshire and South Ayrshire were unable to provide October 2005 figures so their July 2005 figures were used instead.
