Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many foreign nationals from (a) EU and (b) non-EU countries are employed by NHS trusts in the Kirklees area.

NHS Digital publishes Hospital and Community Health Services (HCHS) workforce statistics. These include staff working in hospital trusts and clinical commissioning groups, but not staff working in primary care or in general practitoner surgeries, local authorities or other providers.

The following table shows all staff employed in National Health Service trusts in the Kirklees area (Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust and Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust) by nationality, as at 31 May 2018, headcount.

Nationality is self-reported and may be a reflection of cultural heritage rather than country of birth.
