Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many EU nationals work in each NHS Trust (a) as doctors, (b) as nurses and (c) in other positions.

On 20 December, NHS Digital published data on the nationality of staff working in the National Health Service in England, as at September 2016. An European Union national is a person who holds the nationality of an EU member country and as such includes those who declare themselves as United Kingdom nationals.

The number of EU doctors, nurses and other staff, in each NHS trust, who declared themselves as nationals from the EU is set out in the attached table. Those staff who are from the UK have been identified separately. As nationality is self-reported it may reflect cultural heritage rather than country of birth, nor do these figures necessarily equate to migrants from other countries.
