Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what information his Department holds on how many non-UK EU citizens who were working as ambulance staff in the NHS left the UK between June 2016 and January 2018.

The data is not available in the format requested. The latest nationality statistics are available as at September 2017.

NHS Digital publishes Hospital and Community Health Services workforce statistics. These statistics show that between 30 June 2016 and 30 September 2017 42 non-United Kingdom European Union ambulance staff left the National Health Service.

However, as of September 2017 there are 3,276 more staff from non-UK EU countries working in the NHS than in June 2016 and 167 more non-UK EU ambulance staff than in June 2016.
