Notes:
1. 2001-08 figures are mapped to their current organisational structure.
2. 2000 and previous data do not provide comparative figures to the current organisational structures, and as such are not included in this table.
3. It appears that data provided in 2004 were incorrectly coded for this organisation and corrected in subsequent years.
4. Brighton and Hove PCT do not have any health visitors coded on their Non-Medical Census returns for the years provided.
5. Date 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.
