The decrease in numbers between 1991 and 1992 are largely accounted for by the Project 2000 student nurses who are excluded from the 1992 figures. 3 1989 figures include administrative and clerical staff on grade 18 and above. 1990–91 includes grades 7 and above. 4 The increase in numbers in this group is partially accounted for by the transfer of some professional staff to senior manager grades.
