Note:
(1) Percent vacancies = vacancies as a percentage of the staff complement - i.e. relevant WTE+vacancies.
Relevant WTE excludes home care staff and secondments
(2) In 2006, data for Dundee City was not provided. The data supplied for 2005 has been used.
(3) In 2006, children and families data for City of Edinburgh was not provided. The 2005 data for children and families has been used.
(4) Vacancy data for Eilean Siar was not provided for 2006, so 2005 figures have been used.
(5) Falkirk's vacancy reporting for 2003 to 2005 was only for social workers. However, all staff vacancies were reported in 2006 so data not comparable with previous years.
(6) In the October 2006 census, there was a change in methodology to eliminate the double counting of staff covering for absent staff.
Therefore, 2006 figures are not comparable with previous years.
