Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many migrants from other EU countries work in the NHS in London.
The Health and Social Care Information Centre collects data on the number of staff working in National Health Service hospital and community health services (HCHS) in England.
Nationality is a self-reported field within the electronic staff record system. The following table shows the number of HCHS staff from other European Union (EU) countries who declared their nationality who work in the NHS in England and in London.
Information on the number of employees from other EU countries working in London is only available for those people working in NHS trusts and clinical commissioning groups.
