    Community Service Professional Posts are allocated against existing (vacant) posts, therefore these health professionals form part of the figure reported by PERSAL for the relevant profession. The national figure also includes CSPs allocated to SA Military Health Services -SAMHS (40) and is therefore greater than the sum of provincial figures.
