Notes

1. The forecast number of Tactical and Planner controllers is based upon the progress of existing trainees, actual retirements and an historical assumption of the losses. It also accounts for existing part-time workers and women due back from maternity leave who are expected to choose part time arrangements.

2. A higher allowance for training and development is required to meet the increased training demand and re-sectorisation plans to provide future capacity.

3. Maternity and Long Term Unfits already deducted from the controller supply number.
