Jamie Reed – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jamie Reed on 2016-06-08.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many and what proportion of first year students enrolled onto undergraduate-level nursing degrees in England are studying part-time.

Ben Gummer

The Department does not collect data on the proportion of first year students studying part-time undergraduate-level nursing degrees.

Health Education England (HEE) for this academic year so far has recorded the figures for part-time first year nursing students in training. As at the end of 31 March 2016, 19,451 students are currently enrolled as first year nursing students and 177 of those are part time. This does not include midwifery and HEE has no data prior to this academic year.
