Note : (1) Some totals do not exactly equal the sum of their component parts due to the effects of rounding.
Note : (2) Figures given to the nearest 5 to preserve confidentiality
Note : (3) Staff figures include unit management, care staff, support services and ancillary staff.
Note : (4) Where figures for staff are 0, this may be due either to such staff being included in other departments within an authority, or to there being no such staff groups employed by the local authority.
Note : (5) WTE = whole time equivalent i.e. total number of staff if everyone worked 37 hours
