| 1 Figures include data for the State Hospital, Carstairs. |
| 2 Between 1992 & 1993 the criterion for excluding non-medical/dental staff on low hours was changed from 0.25 hrs to 2hrs. This partially accounts for any decrease in staff numbers between those two years, principally nursing staff. |
| 3 Revised - in particular, see notes 4 & 17. |
| 4 The number of staff employed by the NHSIS is severely affected by the phased transfer of basic nurse training to the Higher Education (HE) sector. |
| To give a consistent time series, nurse teachers and nurses in training who are still employed by the NHSIS are excluded from these totals. |
| 5 Consultants, ASSPs and SHMOs/SHDOs holding maximum part-time contracts are counted as 1.0 WTE. |
| 6 Includes general medical/dental practitioners employed part-time in hospitals. They may also be counted in general practitioners. |
| 7 As at 1 October. Comprises principals, assistants, trainees and associates. WTE consists of WTE for unrestricted principals and numbers for all other practitioners. |
| 8 Number. Comprises principals, assistants and trainees. |
| 9 Excludes high street pharmacists and optometrists. |
| 10 Some chief executives may be included in ‘senior manager’ grades. |
| 11 From 1 September 1993, a new grading system for senior managers was introduced. |
| 12 Some NHS Trusts are using non-standard grades for senior managers. These grades have been identified separately in the table. |
| 13 Consists of staff on protected grades and staff on ‘spine points’ 1-30. There has been a gradual transfer of staff on spine point scales to the new grading system. |
| 14 Includes obsolete management grades and management trainees. |
| 15 Data are the average WTE for 6 months ending 30 September. |
| 16 Employed by NHSIS but excluded from the analysis above. Nurses and midwives in training include staff on post-basic training. |
| 17 Under-recorded. Some nurses in training have been unavoidably included in qualified grades. |
| 18 Number (headcount) at 31 October. Includes nurses in training who are not sponsored by the NHS. Some nurses in training may also be included in qualified nurse figures, elsewhere in this table. [Source: National Board for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting for Scotland) |
| 19 "1992 courses" refer to the type of course first introduced in that year . Figures have been supplied by the National Board for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting for Scotland. Data are numbers (headcount) at 31 October. |
