Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment his Department has made of the effect of ending the NHS bursary system on the Capital Nurse project in London.
We are advised by NHS England that it is working closely with Health Education England to deliver the Capital Nurse programme.
Impact on programmes such as the Capital Nurse programme, will be considered by NHS England once the outcome of the bursary consultation, which closes on 30 June 2016, has been published.
