1. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10.
2. Figures exclude agency staff.
3. Due to rounding totals may not equal the sum of component parts zero.
4. "Others" includes staff employed by SHAs, OSAs and other centrally based services.
5. A new classification of the non-medical workforce was introduced in 1995. Information based on this classification is not directly comparable with earlier years.
6. New regional office boundaries were introduced in 1994 and 1999.
7. Since 1989 traditional pre-registration nurse training was gradually replaced by Project 2000 training. Project 2000 students are funded by bursaries and are not employed by the HCHS; they are not therefore included in the workforce numbers.
