Notes:
(1) 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.
(2) In 2008, West Dunbartonshire was unable to provide any age data so all are included in the 'unknown' category.
(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.
