Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 There is a new user-friendly webpage for government stats/information, at http://www.hscic.nhs.uk/pubs. They have just published workforce statistics up to September 2005. What a surprise (!) there are fewer health visitors, down to 9,809 (whole time equivalent) from 10,197 in 2004. This is the lowest figure since 1994, when it was 9,680. Headcount numbers are also down, from 13,303 in 2004 to 12,818 in 2005. The school nursing figures are all over the place, cropping up in various different guises (community matrons, managers, 'other nurses' etc); will have a look at them, and the ages, and post further information when I have done it. At least all those hospital nurses facing cuts now did see a rise in numbers before running into the buffers, but the expansion never reached health visiting. best wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
