This report shows monthly numbers of NHS Hospital and Community Health Services (HCHS) staff working in NHS Trusts and CCGs 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 CCGs 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), only the June 2022 data in tables 3 and 4 of the Provisional statistics file fully reflects the new health geographies. The 'Annual change' and 'Annual % change' information for affected regions are marked as 'Not applicable' in these tables.
Complete comparable regional time series tables will be included next month in the July 2022 Provisional statistics file, released in September 2022. Further information on these changes can be found at https://digital.nhs.uk/services/organisation-data-service/integrated-care-boards
