The 1k number appears not to have come from the report itself, but it sounds like the Beeb's for it, and rightly so.

Are they just making numbers up?

More than likely yes. Although in this case I wonder exactly who 'they' are.

While I would not deny that some cases might have happened on BBC premises, Savile was known to abuse girls in Hospitals and in his caravan so really whenever he had the opportunity. That could lower the figure for on the BBC premises considerably. I suspect that this might be used as a stick to beat the BBC with by their rivals rather than have any reality in fact.
