Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the extent to which midwifery apprenticeships are an effective route into the profession in England.
Health Education England has commissioned the Royal College of Midwives to undertake an evaluation of midwifery degree apprenticeship programmes. This will undertake a cost/benefit analysis of the programme and evaluate the experience of delivery. The outcomes are expected in April 2023.
