Summary

The additional information available this month includes:

• Organisation staff group tables that include organisational level totals, medical grades by organisation and non-medical staff groups by organisation;
• Turnover by organisation and a timeseries of quarterly turnover.
• Redundancy figures at a national level

Experimental statistical publications seek feedback from users on content, accuracy and methodology. Consequently, and in light of their provisional status, they may be subject to revision in subsequent issues.

The NHS IC welcomes feedback on the methodology and tables within this publication. Please contact us on 0845 300 6016 or email your comments and suggestions to enquiries@ic.nhs.uk clearly stating ‘Monthly HCHS Workforce' as the subject.

The NHS IC intends publishing these figures monthly.
