Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many vacancies there are for (a) neuro-phsyiotherapists, (b) occupational therapists, and (c) speech and language therapists in NHS stroke units.

The Department does not hold vacancy rates that are granular enough to identify rates for neuro-phsyiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech and language therapists in National Health Service stroke units.

NHS England publishes quarterly vacancy statistics for total staffing, registered nurses, and medical staff across the NHS. Data is not available at a more detailed staff group level or by the setting in which staff work. The latest published data can be found at the following link:
