The information requested is not collected by the Department.

The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is the independent regulator of nurses and midwives in the United Kingdom and is responsible for nurse and midwifery registration. The NMC has confirmed that it holds information about midwives leaving its register but not on midwives leaving their profession.
