<p>There are no published official statistics on the regional distribution of life
science industry jobs. The table below includes an estimate of employment in 2013
in companies active in three “health life science” sectors: Medical Biotechnology,
Medical Technology and Pharmaceuticals, by region and by constituent part of the UK,
obtained from the Bioscience and Health Technology company database used by the Office
for Life Sciences. The figures are based on locations of active sites for which employment
figures can be obtained. They do not include those employed by public or third sector
organisations nor employment in companies whose main activity falls outside life sciences,
including indirect suppliers to the sector.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td><p><strong>Number
