Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much Apprenticeship Levy funding was drawn down by the NHS on a monthly basis in the financial years (a) 2017-18, (b) 2018-19 and (c) 2019-20 to date.

The information requested is not held centrally.

As the NHS is made up of a large number of diverse employers, it is not possible to identify apprenticeship levy spend or expired funds for the NHS as a whole. Moreover, due to taxpayer confidentiality, we are unable to publish the amount that individual employers have contributed through the apprenticeship levy.
