Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Fiona Mactaggart (Labour). It was answered by Ben Gummer (Conservative) on Tuesday, 5 July 2016 on behalf of the Department of Health.
NHS Staff from Other European Countries
- Question
-
How many staff working in the NHS have been recruited from other European countries in the last 12 months; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
There are no centrally held data on the countries from which NHS staff are recruited, but self-reported nationality data suggest that 15,723 non-UK European nationals joined the NHS in England and that 7,900 left, leaving a net increase of 7,800. As the Minister responsible for the NHS workforce, may I say that every single one of them is very welcome in, and provides an invaluable contribution to, our NHS?
