Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many full-time equivalent (a) medical consultants, (b) other doctors, (c) nurses and midwives and (d) other health professionals were employed at York Hospital in (a) 2010 and (b) the most recent date for which figures are available.

NHS Digital publishes Hospital and Community Health Services (HCHS) workforce statistics for England. These include staff working in hospital trusts and clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), but not staff working in primary care, local authorities or other providers. These statistics are available for National Health Service trusts, CCGs and Health Education England (HEE) regions only and not by individual hospital sites. The following table shows the number of consultants, doctors, nurses and health visitors, other professionally qualified staff, support staff and infrastructure staff in York Teaching Hospital NHS Trust as at September each specified year and June 2019, the latest available data, full time equivalent is attached.

York Teaching Hospital NHS Trust data cannot be accurately compared to 2010 due to a merger with Scarborough and North East Yorkshire Healthcare NHS Trust in 2012.

The NHS Digital data that the Department holds provides information by NHS trusts, CCGs and HEE regions. The Department does not hold information for individual hospitals such as York Hospital. NHS trusts and CCGs often span geographical boundaries with staff potentially working in multiple geographical regions and hospitals.
