Part of the large apparent increase in managers’ earnings can be attributed to a compositional change in this group:<br />

compared with the previous year, there were 12% fewer managers in the sample in the earnings <strong>report</strong> (reflecting<br />

Government policy to reduce the amount the <strong>NHS</strong> spends on management), but the reduction in staff was<br />

disproportionately more in lower bands than in higher bands (for example, around -40% in Bands 4 and 5 compared<br />

with -3% in Bands 8b-9).<br />

Prior to 2010 Q2, data for ambulance staff were divided into ‘London’ and ‘outside London’. From 2010 Q2<br />

onwards, data have been combined, causing a discontinuity.<br />
