Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many neuroscience staff are employed by the NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board; and what the vacancy rate was for neuroscience staff in the NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board in the most recent period for which data is available.

The Human Resources system for National Health Service trusts does not hold data on the number of neuroscience staff, as there are a wide range of NHS staff who provide care for neurological conditions and neurosensory support.

There were 200 full-time equivalent (FTE) doctors working in neurology in the NHS North Central London Integrated Care System. This includes 96 FTE consultants. There were also 63 FTE scientific, therapeutic and technical staff working in neurosensory sciences.

The Department does not hold the requested information on vacancy rates.
