Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the cost to (a) the NHS and (b) the social care system of recruitment advertising in the most recent period for which data is available.
Information on the cost of all recruitment advertising to the National Health Service and the social care system is not held centrally by the Department. This would be held by individual NHS trusts and individual care providers.
