This report shows monthly numbers of NHS Hospital and Community Health Services (HCHS) staff working in NHS Trusts and other core organisations in England (excluding primary care staff). Data are available as headcount and full-time equivalents and for all months from 30 September 2009 onwards.
These data are an accurate summary of the validated data extracted from the NHS HR and Payroll system. Additional statistics on staff in NHS Trusts and other core organisations and information for NHS Support Organisations and Central Bodies are published each:
September (showing June statistics)
December/January (showing September statistics)
March (showing December statistics)
June (showing March statistics)
Quarterly NHS Staff Earnings, monthly NHS Staff Sickness Absence reports, and data relating to the General Practice workforce and the Independent Healthcare Provider workforce are also available via the Related Links below.
Due to changes to the mapping of some HCHS organisations and GP practices from June 2022 at region level (Integrated Care System, NHS England region and Government Office Region), all data months in tables 3 and 4 of the Provisional statistics file fully reflect the new health geographies.
Further information on these changes can be found at https://digital.nhs.uk/services/organisation-data-service/integrated-care-boards
We welcome feedback on the methodology and tables within this publication. Please email us with your comments and suggestions, clearly stating Monthly HCHS Workforce as the subject heading, via [email protected] or 0300 303 5678.
