This page contains links to files of data that you can download. Please note the following:

• Each file holds the data for one quarter for all organisations for its respective data set.
• The files are in dBase IV format (Windows) and have been compressed using a Zip program.
• To use the files you will need to click on the link, save the files to disc, uncompress them and read them in an application that can use dBase format. Such applications include dBase, Access, Approach and Paradox (various trademarks acknowledged).
• The main data is held in files named in the style "?99-0_q1", "?99-0_q2" etc, where "?" can be one of "g", "p", "r" or "y". These letters distinguish between the data sets. The middle numbers refer to the financial year, where "99-0" means "1999/00", etc. The final digit shows the quarter of the financial year.
• Supporting data, such as the names of the organisations and the specialties referred to in the main data, are held in separate files. The details in these cover all quarters for a financial year. Link these files to the main files, as explained in your application's documentation.
