Product notes:
Figures in the Standard Tables for some Primary Care Trusts may differ from results in the Key Statistics and Census Area Statistics for health areas in England and Wales . This reflects differences in the area boundaries used when producing results. [More information...]

Results on the industry and occupations of people with workplaces in health areas are omitted from the Standard Tables following a review of disclosure risks [more information...]. This is to remove the possibility of deducing figures for industry and occupation for parts of local authorities overlapped by health areas. The tables affected are S130, S131, S132, and T10. Other results on workplace populations in health areas are included.
