1 Data exclude Medical Hospital Practitioners and Clinical Assistants, most of which are GPs working part-time in hospitals.

2 In 2006 GP Practice Nurse headcount data for Hounslow PCT were estimated using the national average ratio of full-time equivalent (FTE) to headcount.

Notes:

1. Workforce data are not available by constituency. Feltham and Heston constituency is contained within and serviced by Hounslow PCT and West Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust.

2. Hounslow PCT was formed in 2002. It is not possible to accurately map workforce figures for this organisation prior to the formation of the PCT.

Data Quality:

The NHS Information Centre for health and social care seeks to minimise inaccuracies and the effect of missing and invalid data but responsibility for data accuracy lies with the organisations providing the data. Methods are continually being updated to improve data quality where changes impact on figures already published. This is assessed but unless it is significant at national level figures are not changed. Impact at detailed or local level is footnoted in relevant analyses.
