Total appointments actually left unfilled, excluding appointments successfully refilled.

Consultant clinical time only, excluding administration. A fully loaded cost could double-count administration.

Clinical operating weeks only; the annual administrative salary is not prorated.

Editable headcount; no assumed ratio to consultants.

Appointment capacity = unfilled appointments across the service × consultant appointment cost × operating weeks.

Administrative cost = administrators × annual salary × follow-up time percentage.

Salary time allocation represents resource usage, not necessarily additional cash expenditure.
