The figures are shown in the table. Many of the functions undertaken by senior nursing and professional staff are now reflected in the national health service management figures. This means it is unreliable to compare numbers within groups between the years shown in the table. Management still accounts for less than 1.8 per cent. of the NHS work force and the ratio of clinical to support staff has never been higher.

Note: In 1991 there has been a shift of Nursing and Midwifery staff from West Berkshire district health authority to East Berkshire district health authority due to the reallocation of Berkshire College of Nursing and Midwifery, Wexham park hospital from West to East Berkshire.
