Notes:

1. These statistics relate to the contracted positions within English NHS organisations and may include those where the person assigned to the position is temporarily absent, for example on maternity leave.

2. By their nature, locum roles may be maintained in the Electronic Staff Record HR system without the doctor in the role being active.

3. The HSCIC does not hold data on the wards that staff work in or their specific positions.

4. ' - ' denotes zero

5. '0' denotes more than zero, less than one

6. Provisional monthly NHS workforce data figures may be revised from month to month as issues are uncovered and resolved. The monthly workforce data does not include Primary care staff or Bank staff.

7. The HSCIC seeks to minimise inaccuracies and the effect of missing and invalid data but responsibility for data accuracy lies with the organisations providing the data. Methods are continually being updated to improve data quality. Where changes impact on figures already published, this is assessed but unless it is significant at national level figures are not changed.
