Information on number of nutritionists is not held centrally.
The only available information is for dietetics staff, held by national health service trusts. Information is therefore provided in the following table for those organisations within the London Strategic Health Authority (SHA) area, which employ dietetics staff. Bexley Primary Care Trust (PCT) does not employ any dietetics staff.

Not Applicable. Where PCT did not exist or no longer exists. Note: 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 workforce 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 one per cent. of total across all non-medical staff groups for headcount figures (and negligible for full time equivalents). This should be taken into consideration when analysing trends over time.
