To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent estimate his Department has made of the number of open GP practices in Halifax constituency (a) on the most recent date for which figures are available and (b) in 2010.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent estimate his Department has made of the number of open GP practices in Halifax constituency (a) on the most recent date for which figures are available and (b) in 2010.
Data provided by NHS England Digital shows that in May 2014, the earliest year from which data is available, there were 14 open general practices (GPs) in the Halifax constituency, and as of May 2024 there are nine open GPs in the constituency. The data only includes main practices, and does not include branch practices.
GPs close for a variety of reasons, including mergers or retirement, so this does not necessarily indicate a reduction in the quality of care. When a GP does close, patients are informed of the closure and advised to register at another local practice of their choice, within their area.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make an assessment of trends in the level of (a) recruitment and (b) retention of school support staff in (i) Halifax constituency and (ii) England in each of the the last five years.
The full-time equivalent (FTE) of support staff has increased each year since 2019/20, reaching 510,400 in 2023/24, and has now passed the previous peak of 2015/16. This is an increase of 4,800 (0.9%) since last year. This increase is mainly due to an increase of 2,400 in other support staff.
Support staff are categorised into posts of teaching assistants, administrative staff, auxiliary staff, technicians and other supporting staff, plus two new posts of school business professional and leadership non-teacher that were reported for the first time in 2023/24.
School business professionals include roles such as bursar, business manager, finance officer, office manager, premises manager or ICT network manager. The national figures of all FTE support staff from the 2019/20 to 2023/24 academic years are available here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/data-tables/permalink/7b0a17e8-b3ff-403e-687f-08dca70c1109.
