NI HPSS Workforce Census - March 2005

This is the fifth Bulletin in a series of annual reports analysing the make-up of the Health and Personal Social Services (HPSS) workforce in Northern Ireland. Previous Bulletins have been published using data from 30 September, this is the first Bulletin featuring data as at 31 March.

The aim of this publication is to provide a specific breakdown of HPSS workforce data and key summary points. The Bulletin is issued to Parliament, MLAs, HPSS organisations and colleagues within the Department. The information contained in this Bulletin is used for a number of purposes, including informing policy makers, supplying information to other government departments and enabling effective workforce planning. Consequently, to ensure that the Department’s information is accurate, high data quality standards need to be achieved and maintained by all HPSS organisations.
