(1) It is believed that, by 1997, some services
- including some Home Care services - were being contracted out to the private
sector. Also, between 1997 and 1998, one Council is known to have transferred
its residential homes for older people to the private sector. This meant that
while the same level of provision was being made, some 200 staff were no longer
employees of the Council.
(2) Figures are based on totals which include estimates where any Councils did
not submit data.
(3) Includes Criminal Justice staff and staff based in Health and Education
establishments. Figures include a small number of staff on secondment for training.
