Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much Apprenticeship Levy funding was not used within the 24 month period by NHS organisations in each month 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.
