1 Figures given are full-time equivalent counts. A revised Treasury methodology for calculating full-time equivalent figures for staff in part-time posts came into operation from 1.4.95. From that date all part-time staff were counted pro-rata according to hours worked. Previously part-time staff who worked 10 hours or more were all counted as 0.5.
2 From 1.4.96 HSE Divisions were restructured. Staff in post data for 31.3.96 is listed to provide comparison with previous years.
