NHS: Migrant Workers
(asked on 13th December 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many NHS employees were born in other EU member states.
This question was answered on 21st December 2016
The number of National Health Service employees who were born in other European Union (EU) member states is not collected.
NHS Digital publishes data on the nationality of staff working in the NHS in England. Nationality is self-reported, the value entered by an individual, and therefore may reflect their cultural heritage rather than their country of birth. As at September 2016, of those NHS employees who declared a nationality, 59,796 were from an EU member state other than the United Kingdom.
