10. From discussions with David Stewart, Director of Health Libraries NW, it is apparent that 54 Knowledge Management staff have been omitted from the returns. Their bandings are as listed below. They have NOT been included in the foregoing analysis. We will follow up with the 18 appropriate organisations (17 Trusts and 1 CCG) to ascertain why these staff were omitted. Addendum: Additional Knowledge Management Staff Including these staff brings the total number of NW Informatics staff up to 4,923
