2. Line 5 includes 42 agency staff working 1 shift on the day.
3. Line 6 shows the total nursing staff on the wards in three shifts.
4. At the stated time there were 34 trainees temporarily attached to RNH Haslar and 67 trainees temporarily attached to BMH Aldershot from overseas hospitals which were additional to the United Kingdom establishments.
