1 Because figures are based on NHS pay records, they reflect staff paid at each hospital. It is not possible to make adjustments for staff who, whilst being paid at one hospital, spend part of their working time at other(s).
2 Learners are excluded because they are mostly paid (ie recorded) at one central point in the district health authority and it is not possible to break down their numbers by hospital.
3 Medical and dental staff are excluded for the same reason as given in note 2.
4 Closed 18 April 1983.
5 Closed 9 November 1980.
