Data updates
We have published updates to the original Public Bodies 2013 dataset, showing the position as at 31 March 2014 and 31 December 2013. The updates exclude financial and full-time equivalent (FTE) figures, as this data isn’t audited during the year. For ease of reference, changes are shown with a yellow highlight, and bodies that ceased to exist are shown in red.
