To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the attrition rate for nursing students expressed as a percentage of reported starters in 2013–14 and 2014–15.
This question was answered on 22nd October 2015
Health Education England (HEE) does not currently collect this data.
The Department of Health’s 2015 Mandate to HEE includes a requirement for HEE to reduce attrition rates from training programmes. Paragraph 6.19 sets out that HEE needs to reduce avoidable attrition from training programmes by 50% by 2017.
