During 2010 the Scottish Government introduced a national target to reduce the number of senior management posts by 25% between 31st March 2010 and 1st April 2015. For the purposes of this target, the definition of a senior manager, as defined by the Scottish Government, is different from the definition for Management Grade (non Agenda for Change), as published within this section and reported within the 'Administrative Services' staff group.
The Management Grade (non Agenda for Change) figures presented within this section, and as part of the ISD official statistics, includes staff on Executive and Senior management grades A to I only. Therefore, these data should not be used as a measure to monitor progress towards the Scottish Governments target to reduce the number of senior management posts by 25%.
The definition for managers to be included in the target was placed in Scottish Parliament Information Centre on 9 December 2010 (Bib number 52181) and information that provides progress towards the Scottish Governments target to reduce the number of senior managers by 25% between 31st March 2010 and 1st April 2015, can be found within the Scottish Governments '25% reduction in senior managers posts target - national progress towards the 25% reduction as at 31st March 2011' publication. These data will be published on an annual basis.
