Summary

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 seventh 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 by staff group. For the first time it includes voluntary redundancies alongside compulsory redundancies and a timeseries of previous redundancy figures.

Previous quarterly supplemental information are available in the ‘related information' link to the right of this page.

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.

We welcome feedback on the methodology and tables within this publication. Please send your comments and suggestions, clearly stating 'Monthly HCHS Workforce' as the subject heading through to enquiries@ic.nhs.uk or 0845 300 6016.

The HSCIC publishes these figures monthly.
