Note: In 2002 and 2003, a number of staff did not have a whole or part time status recorded, this means that the sum of the whole time and part time workers will not equal the overall total. The years where the total number of whole time workers is not a round number is due to some staff having contracted hours greater than the number of hours considered to be standard for a full time worker.
