(asked on 7th September 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether there are targets for the recruitment of British nurses; if so, what they are; and how much it is estimated that this recruitment process will cost.
This question was answered on 16th September 2015
The Department has not set any targets for the recruitment of British nurses.
National Health Service organisations are best placed to decide how many staff they employ. Services should be tailored to meet the needs of their patients and local communities, to deliver safe care.
NHS trusts are able to recruit nurses using the NHS Jobs dedicated online recruitment service for the NHS, free of charge.
