Psychiatric staffing, measured in man-years, rose throughout the 1990s. For psychiatry as a whole, there was almost 14 500 man-years by the end of 1990, and almost 1 500 of these were in institutions and wards for children and adolescents. The increase from 1990-2000 is 61,5 per cent in child and adolescent psychiatry, and 9,7 per cent in adult psychiatry. In 1990 10,3 per cent of total man-years were in child and adolescent psychiatry. Ten years later this had rise to 14,5 per cent of the total.

The level of education has also been raised. In 1990 5,1 per cent of total man-years were man-years of physicians. By the end of 2000 the physicians share of the total had increased to 6,8 per cent. By the end of 1990 psychologists had 4,2 per cent, qualified nurses and other nursing and therapy personnel, collage-trained (special-care nurses, physiotherapists, ergonomists, social workers (collage trained) and teachers) had 32,1 per cent. By the end of 2000 these personnel categories had incrased to respectively 7,0 per cent and 42,3 per cent. At the same time the share of personnel without collage training (auxiliary nurses, other auxiliary personnel, unqualified occupational therapists) has been reduced from 34,1 per cent in 1990 to 25,9 per cent in 2000.
