The Department does not hold the information requested as to how many specialist multiple sclerosis nurses are employed in the National Health Service.

NHS Digital provides information on the number of nursing, midwifery and health visiting staff employed in the NHS in England but it does not separately identify specialist nurses such as multiple sclerosis nurses.
