Written question asked by Lord Turnberg (Labour) on Wednesday, 30 April 2025, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 15 May 2025. It was answered by Baroness Merron (Labour) on Friday, 9 May 2025 on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care.


Clinical Psychologists: Vacancies

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the current vacancy rate for clinical psychologists.

Answer

The Department does not hold the information requested. NHS England publishes quarterly National Health Service hospital trust vacancy and job advert data. The publication sets out vacancy rates for total NHS trust staff and, separately, for registered nurses and doctors at a national and regional level. The latest data for December 2024 shows that the vacancy rate for total NHS trust staff was 7.2%. The data is not detailed enough to identify vacancy rates for clinical psychologists.
