Birth registrations 2001 to 2007 as at 31 December in each specified year. Figures are rounded to the nearest whole number. 2. SHA totals 2001 to 2005 have been calculated using previous health authority (HA) and SHA configurations. HAs were reconfigured to become 28 SHAs in 2002 and were subsequently reconfigured into 10 SHAs in 2006. Due to overlaps in the HA/SHA reconfigurations, parts of West Pennine HA and North Derbyshire HA were split over Trent SHA and Greater Manchester SHA. These figures were included in the Trent SHA total to give the figure for the new East Midlands SHA. Sources: The Information Centre for Health and Social Care Non-medical Workforce Census.
