I recently made A Freedom of Information requests to the NHS as listed here http://www.mage-net.net/2012/12/07/freedomofinformation   Yesterday () I got the results (I warn you they are shocking)! A) how many people are employed by the NHS as a whole including Dr,GPs, and support/office staff? Answer: 1,350377 (a lot) Source: http://www.ic.nhs.uk/searchcatalogue?productid=4889&topics=1%2fWorkforce%2fStaff+numbers&sort=Relevance&size=10&page=2#top download the file NHS Staff - 2001-2011, Overview: Workforce census bulletin [.pdf] B) how many of the above staff are physically disabled? Answer: This is a little more complex. ESR does not distinguish between disability so this information is not available. However they do have data on Disabled staff. Disabled Medical Staff: 632 or 1% Disabled Non-Medical Staff: 23858 or 2% Source: http://www.ic.nhs.uk/searchcatalogue?productid=7864&topics=1%2fWorkforce%2fStaff+numbers&sort=Relevance&size=10&page=1#top download the file Monthly HCHS Workforce, April 2012 - Equality and diversity tables [.xlsx] The other questions they could not answer!
