Vol. 443 No. 4
182 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Health if he will give a breakdown by job category of the employment increase between the year 1988 and the end of the year 1992 from 36,200 to 39,000; and the number of these that are full-time jobs.
I assume the Deputy is referring to the number of staff expressed in wholetime equivalents employed by grade category in the health board sector for each year 1988-92. These data are set out in the following tabular statement. Most of these posts are filled on a full-time permanent basis.
Rationalisation of the Department's health service personnel census grade categories to facilitate more precise analysis has meant that the data for particular categories given in the following tabular statement are not entirely comparable. Thus, the figure given for the nursing and allied grade category for 1988 includes nurses aides and other staff not included in the nursing category for other years. There was, in fact, a significant increase in nursing numbers over the period 1988 to 1992.
Number of staff employed in each grade category by the health board sector expressed in wholetime equivalents for each year 1988-1992
