Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many NHS staff have been redeployed to provide care in covid-19 wards since December 2020.
The Department does not hold the information requested.
Data on the number of staff redeployed onto COVID-19 wards since December 2020 is not held centrally. The decision to redeploy staff is managed locally at trust or integrated care system level. The levels of redeployment will differ across each individual trust.
