Monthly NHS Hospital and Community Health Service (HCHS) Workforce Statistics in England - April 2012, Provisional statistics

Provisional monthly figures for headcount, full time equivalent, role count and turnover of NHS Hospital and Community Health Service (HCHS) staff groups working in England (excluding primary care staff).

This is the sixth in a series of quarterly supplemental publications. The aim is to provide additional granularity at organisational level, explore the data to indicate data quality issues and to also highlight areas of interest.

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
• equality and diversity figures at a national and regional (SHA) levels

Previous quarterly supplemental information are available in the 'related information' link to the right of this page. The aim is to provide additional granularity at organisational level, explore the data to indicate data quality issues and to also highlight areas of interest.

As expected with provisional, statistics, some figures may be revised from month to month as issues are uncovered and resolved. No refreshes of the provisional data will take place either as part of the regular publication process, or where minor enhancements to the methodology have an insignificant impact on the figures at a national level. However, the provisional status allows for this to occur if it is determined that a refresh of data is required subsequent to initial release. Where a refresh of data occurs, it will be clearly documented in the publications.

The HSCIC publishes these figures monthly. We welcome feedback on the methodology and tables in this publication, which you can submit using the feedback form above.
