The total number of personnel does not match the sum of the yearly figures. This is because if an individual is treated in more than one year period, they are counted in each of those years, whereas they are counted only once in the total number of personnel. Further, where personnel have been treated for more than one injury, they have been counted only once.

The figures showing the number of appointments at DMRC prior to 1 September 2008 show the minimum number of people who were treated during that period. Personnel who were treated prior to 1 September 2008 whose departure date is not recorded are included only in the year of their arrival.
