    Information on health & social care (HSC) vacancies is collected via a quarterly return from HSC organisations, gathering information on HSC vacancies actively being recruited to at quarter end.

    The provision of health services is devolved across the four nations of the UK. As a result, the way we measure and report official direct NHS/HSC employment in each nation differs. A joint statement on the coherence of these statistics, and advice on how and when to make comparisons across the UK has been published on the Analysis Function website.
