Note:
(1) For some councils, certain services are provided by other departments ( e.g. some services for children may be provided by education departments). This will result in some differences in the level of staffing between councils.
(2) In 2006, data for Dundee City was not provided. The data supplied for 2005 has been used.
(3) In 2006, children and families data for City of Edinburgh was not provided. The 2005 data for children and families has been used.
(4) In the October 2006 census, there was a change in methodology to eliminate the double counting of staff covering for absent staff.
Therefore, 2006 figures are not comparable with previous years.
