Three month vacancy rates are three month vacancies expressed as a percentage of three month vacancies plus staff in post from the September 2000 non-medical workforce censuses (whole time equivalent).
Vacancy and staff in post numbers are rounded to the nearest ten.
Percentages are rounded to one decimal place.
* = figures where sum of staff in post and vacancies is less than 10.
Totals may not equal sum of component parts due to rounding.
HA figures are based on Trusts, and do not necessarily reflect the geographical provision of healthcare.
Due to rounding calculating the vacancy rates using the above data may not equal the actual vacancy rates. Staff in post is as at 30 September 2000.
Due to organisational changes between September 2000 and March 2001 the totals for East Surrey HA and West Sussex HA may not equal previously published data.
Due to a different method of rounding, figures may not equal previously published data.
