Data for the Gloucester constituency is not available, as workforce information is not collected at a parliamentary constituency level.

Between June 2024 and October 2025, the NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board saw an increase of 128 full‑time equivalent mental health staff, rising from 1,416 to 1,544, representing 9.1% growth, compared with 5% nationally over the same period.
