<p>The table below shows the number of full time equivalent health visitors employed
in England at the mid-point in each year from 2011 to 2014, and the latest available
figure in 2015. Data from 2012 onwards is taken from the Health Visitor Minimum Data
Set (HV-MDS) which commenced in April 2012 and also includes data for health visitors
employed by organisations that do not use Electronic Staff record (ESR) but do provide
NHS-funded services, such as local authorities.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Full
time equivalent figures are used as this is the most accurate measure of service capacity.</p><p>
