(1) Estimated figures used for Scottish Borders for 1996 and 1997
(2) It is believed that, since 1997, some authorities have begun to contract-out some Home Care services. This table relates only to staff employed directly by Social Work Departments. While Home Care assistants will have been included as in previous years, some Councils may have excluded organisers from these figures for 1997 onwards, classifying them as managers.
