Thanks, but if you go into the raw data you link to unless I missed it PHE is not listed in Jan 2000. PHE was approx 3.500 with approx 500 moving to DHC in Oct 21.

Where is PHE in these numbers? Does not appear to be in underlying Jan 2000 start point but UKHSA its successor is in Dec 24 end point.

Shame not to be at the #NEPHConf24 today. If you're there be sure to visit Kirsty Roe from LKIS talking about the Andy Billet apprentice programme. Some fantastic work undertaken worthy of the scheme's namesake with many apprentices now in permanent public health intelligence roles.

Looks good, will search work better, and will all data be available via api and in consistent format?

Caught in same chaos travelling to Birmingham today. If I’d looked might have seen you at Ely station. Fen views did make up for it somewhat.

No decision yet on the future of the Andy Billet programme but we have great feedback and apprentices have been involved in some excellent work worthy of the scheme’s namesake. Some have already secured jobs in the sector.

The anonymous post from someone who'd had a Β£25k pay increase for similar role in NHSE following PHE's breakup was a good example of why these unfilled posts exist.

Three years since health improvement teams moved from PHE into DHSC. Shout out to all my colleagues working on public health analysis who are still working off ex-PHE systems via UKHSA logins through DHSC. It’s only through their perseverance and care that local systems still have data to work with.
