n/a = not applicable. The numbers of healthcare scientists were not separately identifiable until 2003. (1) More accurate validation processes in 2006 have resulted in the identification and removal of 9,858 duplicate non-medical staff records out of the total work force figure of 1.3 million in 2006. Earlier years' figures could not be accurately validated in this way and so will be slightly inflated. The level of inflation in earlier years' figures is estimated to be less than 1 per cent. of total across all non-medical staff groups for headcount figures (and negligible for full time equivalents). This should be taken into consideration when analysing trends over time. Note: In 2001 Broadmoor Hospital Authority merged with Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham Mental Health NHS Trust to form the West London Mental Health NHS Trust. It is impossible to separate hospital level data from the census figures.

(1) In 2001 Broadmoor Hospital Authority merged with Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham Mental Health NHS Trust to form the West London Mental Health NHS Trust. It is impossible to separate hospital level data from the census figures. Notes: 1. Vacancy data are from the Vacancies Survey March each year. 2. Three month vacancies are vacancies which trusts are actively trying to fill, which had lasted for three months or more (full time equivalents). 3. Three month Vacancy Rates are three month vacancies expressed as a percentage of three month vacancies plus staff in post. 4. Three month Vacancy Rates are calculated using staff in post from the Non-Medical Workforce Census September each year. 5. Percentages are rounded to one decimal place. 6. Vacancy and staff in post numbers are rounded to the nearest whole number. 7. Calculating the vacancy rates using the above data may not equal the actual vacancy rates. 8. Qualified Allied Health Professional vacancy data include qualified staff from the following occupational groups: chiropody, dietetics, occupational therapy, orthoptics/optics, physiotherapy, diagnostic and therapeutic radiography, art/music/drama therapy and speech and language therapy staff.
