to 1982, midwife data is taken from the Health and Personal Social Services Statistics
for England (HPSSS). Data from HPSSS contains hospital-based staff only and is therefore
not comparable with later years.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>2 A new system of occupation
coding for NHS non-medical staff was introduced in 1995. The new codes classified
staff according to what they do rather than the terms and conditions under which they
are employed. Figures based on new occupation codes are not directly comparable with
those based on the old payscale classification, therefore figures since 1995 are not
directly comparable with earlier years.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>3 Figures are
calculated on the numbers of all still and live births in England for each specified
year.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>4 Figures are calculated on the full time equivalent
number of registered midwives. Midwife data is as at 30 September each year.</p><p>
