1From 2015 the primary data source of these statistics changed to the Workforce Minimum Dataset (wMDS). Prior to this the primary source was the NHIAS (Exeter) payments system. More information on the data sources used in this publication can be found in the publication bulletin.

Notes:

Data as at 30 September each year.

St Helens CCG has been provided in the figures for 2013, 2014 and 2015 for the purposes of comparability with previous years data.

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.
