To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to reintroduce paid contracts for student nurses on placements in NHS hospitals.
This question was answered on 8th December 2020
The Government has no current plans to reintroduce paid placements for students during the current COVID-19 outbreak.
Eligible nursing students will continue to receive payments from the student loans company and also access the Learning Support Fund from the NHS Business Services Authority, which includes a non-repayable grant of at least £5,000 and further travel, dual accommodation expenses and parental support.
