NHS: Managers

Answer

The Department does not hold the data requested on the number of overseas visitor managers that are employed by the National Health Service.

NHS England publishes Hospital and Community Health Services workforce statistics for England. The data is drawn from the Electronic Staff Record, the Human Resources system for the NHS. The level of detail available in the dataset is insufficient to identify staff who are employed in roles described as ‘Overseas Visitor Managers’ or similar.

The Department and NHS England publish annual data on the income identified and recovered from chargeable overseas visitors in England in the Department’s Annual Report and Accounts and in NHS England’s consolidated NHS provider accounts.

The following table shows aggregate income identified and cash payments received between 2020 and 2025:

Year	Aggregate income identified	Cash payments received in-year
2020/21	£61,000,000	£21,000,000
2021/22	£67,000,000	£25,000,000
2022/23	£100,000,000	£32,000,000
2023/24	£123,000,000	£42,000,000
2024/25	£142,000,000	£43,000,000

Source: The Department of Health and Social Care Annual Report and Accounts and Consolidated NHS provider accounts.

Neither the Department nor NHS England hold a breakdown of this information by NHS trust.

NHS charges can be recovered up to six years from the date of invoice, and therefore the amount recovered in a year does not necessarily mean it was identified in the same financial year.
