2. '0' denotes 5 or less
3. Population per 100,000 calculated on unrounded figures
4. Population per 100,000 figures based on 1998 projections
5. Some doctors work in more than one health authority, but are only recorded once in the England total—hence the England figure is smaller than the total of health authority figures
