Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the amount of trade union facility time given to the BMA across the NHS.

This estimate has not been made. The Department for Health and Social Care does not collect data on trade union facility time given to the British Medical Association (BMA) across the NHS in England. The Cabinet Office routinely publishes overall public sector trade union facility data. However, data is not collected to the level of granularity requested. Data is available at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/public-sector-trade-union-facility-time-data
