No specific assessment has been made as decisions on the deployment of additional nurses are made locally. This includes information on the specific roles the additional nurses are recruited to, such as breast cancer nursing. As of April 2022, there were more than 29,000 additional nurses working in the National Health Service, compared to September 2019.
