The information is not held in the format requested. Although numbers of nursing and midwifery staff are recorded, the numbers of those working within accident and emergency cannot be separately identified.
The following table lists the number of qualified nursing, midwifery and health visiting staff employed by Barnet and Chase Farm National Health Service Trust.
As at 30 September each year Number (headcount) 1997 1,560 1998 1,533 2000 1,440 2001 1,570 2002 1,711 2003 1,740 2004 1,731 2005 1,715 2006 1,692 1 More accurate validation processes in 2006 have resulted in the identification and removal of 9,858 duplicate non-medical staff records out of the total work force figure of 1.3 million in 2006. Earlier years’ figures could not be accurately validated in this way and so will be slightly inflated. The level of inflation in earlier years' figures is estimated to be less than 1 per cent. of total across all non-medical staff groups for headcount figures. This should be taken into consideration when analysing trends over time.
