Aug
2017
It was intended to publish the 2016 Workforce data report on 31/8/17. However, the publication date will now be in September due to the identification of significant discrepancies between some returns received in 2015 and those received in 2016 from the same services.
We will provide an update on this issue no later than 31/8/17 and publish the workforce report as soon as possible.
