Managers and Senior managers
There were 36,360 managers and senior managers, a decrease of 954(2.6%) since 2012and an increase of 1,039(2.9%) since 2003((an average annual increase of0.3%).
This works out as 2.67% which I believe is smaller than 3% AS I SAID.

Having looked up 2.67% and compared it with 3%, I can confirm that it is indeed less than 3%. Even the Wikipedia agrees.
Does that figure include all the outsourced managerial 'consultants', planners, blue sky visionaries etc. that have been awarded NHS contracts?
