1. Senior Hospital Medical/Dental Officers (with allowance) are included in the consultant figures.
2. Analyses of maximum part-time contracts are not available prior to 1970. For SHAs/BGs maximum part-time figures are not readily available for any year. Where MPT figures are not shown the contracts have been included with the part-time figures.
3. There is some duplication in the figures due to some consultants holding contracts in more than one region and/or with more than one SHA/BG.
4. There were boundary changes in the 1974 NHS reorganisation which will effect comparisons between 1973–74. There were also boundary changes in 1982 which particularly affected North West, North East and South West Thames regions.
5. In 1984 Queen Charlotte's BG merged with Hammersmith BG to form Hammersmith and Queen Charlotte's Special Health Authoriry.
