Due to the merger of Somerset Partnership NHS Foundation Trust with Somerset NHS Foundation Trust in 2020 data can only be given for the last two annual periods.
This data includes people returning to active service, such as those returning from maternity leave or career breaks. It is the count of staff who were active in the trust at the end of the period who were not active at the start of the period. The figures will not include staff joining manager grades from other positions within the organisation.
