Notes:

1. Leeds PCT was formed in October 2006 from a complete merger of Leeds West PCT, Leeds North East PCT, East Leeds PCT, South Leeds PCT and Leeds, North-West PCT. Figures prior to 2006 are an aggregate of these predecessor organisations. It is not possible to map work force figures for these organisations prior to the creation of the PCTs in 2002.

2. Data Quality: the 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.
