Subject:      Test table data for trend?

A pharmacist has asked me if I can do a test for trend on the following
table.  She observes that the number of reports fell until 2002 (there was
an intervention at the end of 2001) and that the proportion of reports
coming from pharmacists has been falling.  She would like to report a test
statistic.  The table reports the number of pharmacists and clinicians
reporting adverse events each year.  The data are not currently in any
other form.  Can someone help?
Thanks, Laurel
