Question
to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether he has made an assessment of the sustainability of prosthetics and orthotics apprenticeship provision in England; and what steps she is taking to support its continuation.
Answered by Andrew Western
- Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions)
The department works closely with the Department for Health and Social Care to support the availability of a diverse range of training routes into health and care careers. We have worked with the health and care sector to design the Level 6 prosthetics and orthotics and Level 6 therapeutic radiography standards. These are approved for delivery and information about these standards, including funding bands, is published here and here.
Apprenticeship providers are independent bodies responsible for making their own decisions about which courses they deliver.
