Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, (a) how many and (b) what proportion of the staff employed by his Department are non-UK nationals.

Nationality | Headcount in category | Proportion of workforce in category |
British | 1,572 | 82% |

Undeclared | 247 | 13% |
