Notes:

1 The organisations located in Manchester Withington constituency

Organisations are displayed alongside their latest name held in reference data.

'..' denotes not applicable. For certain trusts, this may be because the trust did not yet exist, ceased to exist or merged with another organisation during the year specified.

'-' denotes zero.

Full time equivalent figures are rounded to the nearest whole number.

Following a public consultation in 2015, categorisation of trusts and staff groups has changed therefore restricting comparability with previous publications. Because of these changes, these statistics are classed as experimental.

More details regarding these changes can be found in the outcomes of the consultation document available at the link below.

Data Quality:

The Health and Social Care Information Centre seeks to minimise inaccuracies and the effect of missing and invalid data but responsibility for data accuracy lies with the organisations providing the data. Methods are continually being updated to improve data quality. Where changes impact on figures already published, this is assessed but unless it is significant at national level figures are not changed. Impact at detailed or local level is footnoted in relevant analyses.
