data for managers and senior managers cannot be split reliably. The figures are given in the following table but data are not comparable from year to year. Later years' figures include staff who have been reclassified as managers following the extension of senior managers terms and conditions of service to allow inclusion of other staff. Information on the number of administrative and clerical staff, including managers, in Wales since 1979 is also shown in a following table.
