Notes:
(1) 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. Please refer to Background Notes for further information.
(2) Totals do not equal the sum of components due to rounding of WTEs.
(3) In 2004, data for Falkirk was not provided. 2003 figures for Falkirk have been used in the Scotland totals.
(4) WTE information has been estimated for 779 part-time posts in 2004
