Health Trainers

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many (a) full and (b) part-time health trainers there are in each trust.
Answer

Health trainers are employed in a variety of settings and the plurality of employment models means that we do not collect data by individual primary care trust. We do not distinguish between full-time and part-time health trainers in the data we do collect. In total there are 1,200 health trainers employed across the country, with an additional 450 currently undergoing training within the British Army.
