| 1 In the pre-reorganisation Joint Staffing Watch (JSW), full-time equivalent (FTE) estimates for part-timers were based on set conversion |
| factors. In the December staffing surveys, and the New JSW, FTE estimates are based on actual hours worked. |
| 2 The data for December 1996 and 1997 New Joint Staffing Watch comes from the data collected in the December Annual Staffing Surveys. |
| 3 The coverage of these services differs in the pre-reorganisation Joint Staffing Watch (JSW) because of the different treatment of staff in Direct Labour and Direct Service Organisations. In the pre-reorganisation JSW survey, DLO/DSO staff were included with the service they supported. In the December staffing surveys, and the new JSW, they are a separately identified grouping. |
| 4 Excludes an estimated 275 FTE staff transferring with the Childrens Reporters Service. |
| 5 Excludes an estimated 65 FTE staff transferring from local authorities following the creation of the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency. |
| 6 In the pre-reorganisation JSW, these figures include school crossing patrol staff. The new JSW, and the December Staffing Surveys, include school crossing patrol staff with Roads & Transport. |
| 7 Estimated number of staff transferring from local authorities to the Childrens Reporters Service, and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency. |
