Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people were employed as (a) bladder and bowel continence nurses, (b) urology nurses, (c) stoma nurses and (d) pelvic floor physiotherapists in the most recent period for which that information is available.

The Department does not hold the information requested for bladder and bowel continence nurses or pelvic floor physiotherapists.

As at September 2020, there were 2,054 full time equivalent (FTE) nurses employed with an area of work of urology and 312 FTE nurses with an area of work of stoma care. These figures are based on the main area of work in which each staff member is coded and therefore may not reflect the complete number of staff providing these services.
