Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many nurses were employed in each NHS region in the latest month for which figures are available.
The following table shows the number of full time equivalent nursing, midwifery and health visiting staff employed in each Health Education England region as at August 2015. The data is from the Health and Social Care Information Centre’s Hospital and Community Health Services monthly workforce statistics and does not include nurses working in general practice.
