| 5 Figures are subject to revision. This is because staffing figures supplied by local authorities are scrutinised carefully, and oddities queried and, as far as possible, corrected. This process can lead to some revisions of earlier data. However, it is not always possible for authorities to revise all previous figures. This can, therefore, lead to some minor discontinuities remaining in the data. |
