Slight increase in hospital man-years
From 2000 to 2001 preliminary figures show a slight increase in man-years in general hospitals. The growth was 1.7 per cent, almost 1000 man-years. Approximately 59 500 man-years were attached to general hospitals by the end of 2000. Man-years performed by medical laboratory technicians and radiographers increased the most.
At the end of 2001 physician man-years had raised approximately 2 per cent, corresponding to 168 man-years. The number of nurses had a slight increased by 3 per cent, while auxiliary nurses had a decline of 3 per cent or 155 man-years. The decline is the largest since 1994. Man-years performed by medical laboratory technicians increased 5 per cent or 143 man-years, and radiographers increased 9 per cent or 112 man-years.
If we look at the last ten years period, there has been a gradual increase in the man-years in general hospitals. The increase is following a trend seen during the last ten years.
