Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many and what proportion of NHS managers are registered by (a) the General Medical Council, (b) the Nursing and Midwifery Council and (c) another specified professional regulatory body.
Answered by Will Quince
The Department does not hold data on the proportion of National Health Service managers that are registered by the General Medical Council (GMC), the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) or another specified professional regulatory body.
Healthcare professional regulators, including the GMC and NMC, do not have a separate register for NHS managers or a registration category of ‘NHS manager’. The role of healthcare professional regulators is to set and maintain the standards for healthcare professionals seeking to practise in their respective professions in the United Kingdom.
