Appendix 1 - NHS board breakdown
NHS Ayrshire and Arran
- Total staff in post is projected to remain at 8,629.3 WTE.
Additional information:
- A range of transformational change programmes are underway which are at different stages of consideration and will have a direct impact upon NHS Ayrshire & Arran's workforce.

- Administrative services is projected to decrease by 30.2 WTE (down 2.4 %). This includes a projected increase in Management (non AfC) of 1.0 WTE (up 4.8%), due to the employment of the new Director for Health & Social Care, a post previously hosted by Fife Council.
Additional information:
- NHS Fife continues to restructure systems and processes to achieve efficiencies within the Administrative Services job family.
- NHS Fife continues to review recruitment practices to meet the challenges faced as a result of an ageing workforce and an increased turnover rate.

NHS Lanarkshire
- Total staff in post is projected to decrease by 40.0 WTE (down 0.4%).

1. All figures in this table have been rounded to the nearest 1 decimal place.
2. Service redesign and cash releasing efficiency programmes will result in an overall reduction in staff across the NHS Lanarkshire workforce during 2016/17. This has been reflected in the projection for All Staff Groups, but as it is yet to be determined which staff groups this reduction will effect, no reduction is shown in individual staff groups.
3. Figures presented under change and change % have been calculated from the original unrounded data provided by each NHSScotland board. As such, they may not be possible to reproduce from the rounded WTE figures presented in the table.
4. Management (non AfC) is a sub group of administration services and data 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).

Additional information:
- NSS's plan is based on continuing to underpin NHS Scotland with existing, highly effective support services and expertise. NSS also seeks, where there is a clear need, to deliver existing services beyond health in order to maximise savings and improvements across Scotland's public sector.
- NSS's planning assumptions include not only the utilisation of staff employed on a permanent and fixed term basis but also include the utilisation of other workforce supplies where the demand for new and changing services requires it, or very specialist skills are required.

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).
