NHS Learning Support Fund: Pharmacy

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of enabling pharmacy students to utilise the NHS learning support fund.

Answer

There are no immediate plans to make changes to the Learning Support Fund scheme design. The Government keeps the funding arrangements for all healthcare students under close review. At all times the Government must strike a balance between the level of support students receive, and the need to make best use of public funds to deliver value for money.
