Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what proportion of nurses earn £35,000 or more per year.
Information from the Health and Social Care Information Centre shows that 32% of qualified nurses earned more than £35,000 in the year ending 31 March 2015. This includes only nurses who worked for the full 12 months. It reflects the actual earnings of each nurse and is not adjusted for part-time working. It excludes nurses in general practice.
