Spartacus The figures came from the official States of Guernsey statistics. The 2001 figures showed a public sector employees figure which included all health workers. The 2011 figures showed the island's "health, social and charity workers" separately, without providing a breakdown of the 1,600 or so workers who make up that figure. I have CONSERVATIVELY assumed that of that 1,600 or so figure of "health, social and charity workers", only 1,000 are employed within the public sector. Based on that assumption, the increase in the number of public sector workers had increased by just over 20% between 2001 and 2011. It is "most unlikely" that there are as many as 600-odd "social and charity workers" in Guernsey, so the number of public sector health workers is likely to be more like 1,300, possibly even more. My 20% figure is therefore more likely to be closer to 25%. At the very least, its around 20%. But because I don't have an exact number, you want to dismiss the statistics altogether? So what if its between 19% and say 23% - the material fact is that its a massive increase over 10 years when the population had only increased by 5% in the same period. Is that not close enough for you? Come up with your own statistics and disprove my numbers if you can. The ball's in your court...
