NHS Board Projected staff in Post changes for 2014/15

7. Further information

The data above, and below in Appendix 1, contribute towards the Scottish Government's analysis of NHS board's workforce plans. Each NHS board will publish their respective workforce plan by the end of August 2014.

The emergency services staff group was renamed ambulance services because it includes non-emergency staff. All other staff group definitions in this publication match the ISD Scotland national statistics publication on NHSScotland workforce definitions.

The next three publications ISD Scotland are due to release on NHSScotland's workforce are on the following dates:

• 26 August 2014 (workforce as at 30 June 2014);
• 25 November 2014 (workforce as at 30 September 2014); and
• 24 February 2015 (workforce as at 31 December 2014).

Please see the link to ISD Scotland's publications below.

There is also a Scottish Government workforce publication on the progress towards the 25% reduction in senior management posts target as at 31 March 2014. This is also due for release on 26 August 2014. Please note that the senior management definition within this national target is different form the management (non AfC) figure used in both the ISD national statistics publication on NHSScotland workforce, and the Scottish Government publication on NHS workforce projections. Follow the link to the publication below for an explanation of these differences.
