This particularly affects figures for the Pembrokeshire NHS trust. 2May include some managers previously classified in staff groups other than administrative and clerical. 3Since 1991 student nurses have been classified as students and are no longer included in the NHS staff figures. Staff included here are students finishing courses started before this date. 4Includes staff employed by the Welsh Health Common Services Authority, NHS trusts and those family health service authorities using district health authority payroll systems. Administrative and clerical staff employed by the South East Wales ambulance trust are not included in the 1993 figures.
