NHS: Foreign Workers
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many (a) doctors and (b) nurses from developing countries have joined the NHS in each of the last five years for which figures are available.
- Answer
-
The Department does not have a clear definition, nor a list of nations classified as being, developing countries. A table containing details of the country of qualification of doctors, broken down into the United Kingdom, European economic area, outside the European economic area and unknown country of qualification has been placed in the Library. The country of qualification for nurses is not collected. It must be stated that the country of qualification does not necessarily denote that this is the birth land of the individual.
