NHS Board Projected Staff In Post Changes In 2012/13
All NHS Boards have been asked to develop Local Delivery Plans (LDPs) and workforce plans, as well as using workforce workload tools. As part of this process, NHS Boards have been asked to provide workforce projections for 2012/13. These projections are based on staff in post whole time equivalents (wte).
Appendix 1 - NHS Board Breakdown
NHS Ayrshire & Arran
The main findings are:
- Overall projected reduction of 72.0 wte (down 0.9%).
- Nursing & Midwifery has an expected reduction of 13.8 wte (down 0.3%). This is informed by the use of national workforce and workload planning tools, with the skill mix ratio specifically being considered within Care of the Elderly services.
- Administration Services has an expected reduction of 51.2 wte (down 3.4%), which includes a reduction in Management (non AfC) of 1.2 wte (down 3.1%).
- Support Services is expected to reduce by 10.7 wte (down 1.1%)
Additional information:
- Medical HCHS has an expected increase of 8.5 wte (up 1.5%) due to the anticipated filling of Consultant vacancies in order to support the service model for Reshaping the Medical Workforce.
- Other Therapeutic Services are expected to increase by 4.0 wte (up 1.9%) due to the anticipated filling of vacant Psychology posts.

NHS Fife
The main findings are:
- Projected increase of 65.7 wte (up 0.9%).
- Nursing & Midwifery has an expected increase of 39.6 wte (up 1.2%), due to the anticipated recruitment to vacant posts in three clinical areas that require additional nursing resource as a result of a review undertaken in April 2012. These areas are Adult, Learning Disabilities and Midwifery. Skill mix in critical care and coronary care is also under review, with plans to increase the number of Health Care Support Workers and consider the reduction of trained staff.
- Administration Services are estimated to increase by 10.1 wte (up 0.8%), which includes a projected reduction in Management (non AfC) of 2.0 wte (down 5.6%). This is due to service redesign. Administrative and Clerical vacancies which arise will continue to be scrutinised to determine that they are necessary to be filled or if alternative methods of delivering admin support can be identified.
Additional information:
- Support Services are expected to increase by 4.6 wte (up 0.6%), this is due to the anticipated recruitment of domestic staff as a result of the General Hospitals and Maternity Services Project (GH&MS) which involves the realignment of services.
- Currently there are no plans to change the Healthcare Science workforce. In the future it may be necessary to consider the impact on the workforce of local service change, service redesign and advances in new technology.

NHS Forth Valley
The main findings are:
- Projected increase of 17.5 wte (up 0.4%).
- Nursing & Midwifery has an expected reduction of 5.3 wte (down 0.2%). This is mostly due to a skill mix review and workforce redesign.
- Administration Services are estimated to reduce by 11.3 wte (down 1.3%), which includes a projected reduction in Management (non AfC) of 5.6 wte (down 15.8%). This is the result of an organisational support services review which is ongoing. NHS Forth Valley have a commitment to management redesign and the delivery of streamlined services.
Additional information:
- Medical HCHS has an estimated increase of 11.8 wte (up 2.8%), this assumes the successful recruitment of consultant and specialty doctors to current vacancies.
- Healthcare Science is expected to increase by 16.8 wte (11.0%). This is the result of service redesign, local labs review of management and functional requirements, detect cancer early funds and local access strategy funds.
- In Other Therapeutic Services there is an expected increase of 3.6 wte (up 2.6%) as a result of skill mix changes altering how pharmacy workforce will be utilised to support the model of care.

NHS Grampian
The main findings are:
- Projected reduction of 96.3 wte (down 0.8%).
- Nursing & Midwifery has an expected reduction of 73.0 wte (down 1.5%). This is mostly due to a skill mix review and service redesign.
- Administration Services is estimated to reduce by 9.6 wte (down 0.5%), which includes a projected reduction in Management (non AfC) of 1.9 wte (down 2.0%). This is the result of activity monitoring and workload analysis to improve efficiency and effectiveness of the workforce using the "Six Steps" Methodology.
- Allied Health Profession are estimated to increase by 4.4 wte (up 0.5%).
Additional information:
- Changes in the workforce projections are mainly through redesign. With the opening of the Emergency Care Centre, development of the Health Village, implementation of the 2020 Vision, the Maternity Review, other significant reconfiguration projects and the Integration Agenda, these projections show the general direction of travel of a change in skill mix and a reduction of WTE.
- Medical and Dental Support is expected to increase by 5.5 wte (up 2.7%) due to a change in the skill mix with the increased utilisation of dental support staff including dental nurses, technicians and hygienists.
- Support Services has an expected reduction of 11.0 wte (down 0.7%). As this service is demand driven the projections depend on progress towards NHS Grampians 2020 vision which will see a reduction in assets and property, resulting in a reduction in Facilities Management demand led requirements.

NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde
The main findings are:
- Projected reduction of 578.7 wte (down 1.7%).
- Nursing & Midwifery has an expected reduction of 320.3 wte (down 2.2%). This is due to workforce change through delivery of the Acute Division's bed model, reducing the overall complement of beds across the Division in preparation for the opening of the New South Glasgow Hospitals. Additionally, productivity improvements, service redesign and skill-mix change.
- Administration Services is estimated to reduce by 122.7 wte (down 2.2%), which includes a projected reduction in Management (non AfC) of 11.0 wte (down 4.8%). This is also due to productivity improvements, service redesign, skill mix change and the 25% senior management reduction target.
Additional information:
- Healthcare Science is expected to reduce by 30.4 wte (down 1.8%) as a result of a new Laboratory facility opening on the site of the Southern General, and the move to single site working for pathology services which has enabled a redesign of the workforce.
- Support Services has an estimated reduction of 54.3 wte (down 1.5%). This is due to a number of redesigns underway within the Facilities Directorate of the Acute Services Division within NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde including a review of Central Sterile Service Department (CSSD). Service redesign within sewing rooms and the laundry areas will contribute to the support services workforce reduction. As part of the Acute Services Review the number of sites and consequently the size of the NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde estate will reduce.

NHS Highland
The main findings are:
- Projected increase of 801.2 wte (up 11.8%). This is mostly due to increases in Personal and Social Care which is estimated to increase by 834.6 (up 3150.0%), in line with the Board's Integrating Care in the Highlands project (the integration of health and social care between NHS Highland and The Highland Council. There has been the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) (TUPE) of staff between NHS Highland and The Highland Council on 1st April 2012.
- Nursing & Midwifery has an expected reduction of 130.8 wte (down 4.4%). This is linked to the Planning for Integration project and the transfer of 109.8 wte nursing and midwifery staff from NHS Highland to Highland Council on 1st April 2012.
- Administration Services is estimated to increase by 78.8 wte (up 6.1%), which includes a projected reduction in Management (non AfC) of 5.0 wte (down 8.2%). The increase in administrative services staff is again due to Planning for Integration project and the TUPE transfer of business support roles from Highland Council to NHS Highland, to support adult social care services.
Additional information:
- Allied Health Profession (AHP) has an estimated reduction of 11.6 wte (down 2.3%) in line with the Board's Planning for Integration project and TUPE transfer of AHPs to and from Highland Council, in line with Planning for Integration project.
- In Healthcare Science skill mix reviews are on going as a result of the redesign of laboratory services; the integration of services in biochemistry, haematology and bacteriology; and anticipated retirements.
- There is an expected overall increase in Support Services of 30.1 wte (up 3.7%). These are in line with the care capacity work that is being taken forward in NHS Highland. There are, however, expected increases in catering and transport staff groups from the TUPE transfer from Highland Council in line with the Planning for Integration project.

1. The increase shown under Personal & Social Care is mainly due to the transfer of staff between health and local authorities.
2. ISD report this category as Emergency Services, however it includes a number of non-emergency ambulance staff.
3. Management (non-AfC) is a sub group of Administration Services. These figures are not comparable to the 25% Reduction Target in Senior Management posts. The definition used in the target allows the exclusion of clinically orientated staff from within this group and the inclusion of some AfC Administration staff (Band 8a and above).
NHS Lanarkshire
The main findings are:
- Projected reduction of 30.3 wte (down 0.3%).
- Medical (HCHS) has an expected increase of 14.0 wte (up 1.6%), this is partly due to the conversion of locums to substantive posts and the creation of additional posts.
- Administration Services is estimated to reduce by 38.7 wte (down 2.3%), which includes a projected reduction in Management (non AfC) of 2.0 wte (down 2.4%).
Additional information:
- Some of the reductions are due to a voluntary severance scheme.
- Nursing and Midwifery is expected to increase by 2.4 wte (0.1%), this is in part due to an increase from the transfer of prison staff. There are several programmes of work underway that will impact on future nursing workforce including reshaping care for older people and the community nursing review.
- Allied Health Profession services are continuing to work towards the savings set out in the AHP review of 2010. This is being achieved through natural turnover and grade mix.
- Other Therapeutic Services is expected to increase by 2.0 wte (up 0.6%) due to the implementation of the CAMHS strategy. Pharmacy are undertaking a Pharmacy Purchasing, Stores and Redistribution review which is not expected to have significant workforce implications.

NHS Lothian
The main findings are:
- Projected increase of 1.3 wte (<0.1%).
- Nursing & Midwifery has an expected increase of 91.5 wte (up 1.1%).
- Administration Services is estimated to reduce by 103.2 wte (down 3.7%), which includes a projected reduction in Management (non AfC) of 5.9 wte (down 4.1%)
- Medical (HCHS) has an expected increase of 27.7 wte (up 1.6%).
Additional information:
- The relatively small projected increase is the combination of NHS Lothian increasing the workforce to address Waiting Times backlogs, and making efficiency savings which are to be achieved through service redesign, changes in skill mix, and management reductions.

NHS Tayside
The main findings are:
- Projected reduction of 51.2 wte (down 0.4%).
- Nursing & Midwifery has an expected reduction of 17.4 wte (down 0.3%).
- Administration Services is estimated to reduce by 31.5 wte (down 1.5%), which includes a projected reduction in Management (non AfC) of 7.0 wte (down 6.7%).
Additional information:
- NHS Tayside will undertake a recoding exercise for some Staff Groups during 2012/13.
- Medical & Dental (HCHS) has an estimated 9.7 wte (up 1.0%) overall growth in Radiology and Acute Medicine as they move to 7 day working.
- Nursing and Midwifery has an expected reduction of 17.4 wte (down 0.3%) due to current assumptions and trends, it is important to acknowledge that this is subject to change. The 2012/13 projection takes into account the 75 wte Mental Health nurses that will be required for the development of the Regional Secure Unit.
- All services within Allied Health Professions have adopted the 6 steps methodology and are at different stages of development. The Allied Health Professions projections with the exception of Diagnostic Radiography do not take into account the intention for 7 day working and as discussions have yet to commence it would be impossible to predict figures. The integration of Health and Social Care is likely to have a significant impact upon the Allied Health Professions but there is insufficient information to provide projections at this time.
- Six Step workforce methodology is being widely utilised across the organisation this enables staff engagement in planning and observation of changing trends.

1. ISD report this category as Emergency Services, however it includes a number of non-emergency ambulance staff.
2. Management (non-AfC) is a sub group of Administration Services. These figures are not comparable to the 25% Reduction Target in Senior Management posts. The definition used in the target allows the exclusion of clinically orientated staff from within this group and the inclusion of some AfC Administration staff (Band 8a and above).
NHS Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS)
The main findings are:
- Projected decrease of 9.5 wte (down 3.5%).
- Nursing and Midwifery has an expected increase of 1.0 wte. This is due to an organisational review and re-categorisation of an existing staff member to reflect the specialist nature of their post. An adjustment has also been made to administrative services to account for this re-categorisation.
- Administration Services has an expected decrease of 10.5 wte (down 3.8%), with a projected decrease in Management (non AfC) of 1.0 wte (down 14.3%).
Additional Information:
- HIS are completing an organisational review and implementing a new structure which is being consolidated during 2012/13. They are also planning an office relocation towards the end of 2012, which is expected to impact on projections.
