Notes:
(1) Percentages are based on local authority staff (including part-time staff expressed as whole-time equivalents) but excluding staff employed on short-term contracts for capital works projects, etc.
(2) The employment target of 3 per cent for people with disabilities is based on the total numbers employed; there is no requirement that it should be applied equally across grades and types of employment.
