but then each community had several of these, so it's probably more like 3000 over 10/11.
But reading the stats in more detail, it appears that the above calculation was done after the bulk of MARS deals had been done. So those 1030 people are probably local MARS schemes. Were hospital staff eligible? They seem to be doing most of the cutting in my region. And most of the senior PCT/SHA staff have already moved into provider roles.
