Notes:
(1) For some councils, certain services are provided by other departments ( e.g. some services for children may be provided by education departments). This will result in some differences in the level of staffing between councils.
(2) In 2008 data for Dumfries and Galloway was not provided. The data supplied for 2007 has been used as this was the most recent available.
(3) Staff numbers may fluctuate over time as a result of various factors, including changes in the way services are provided and changes in the numbers of vacancies. Please refer to Background Notes for further information.
