NHS: Apprentices
(asked on 6th June 2019) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the annual cost to the NHS of the Apprenticeship Levy.
This question was answered on 20th June 2019
In 2016, the then Chancellor, in a letter to the Treasury Select Committee, set out an estimate of the impact of the Apprenticeship Levy on the NHS Hospital and Community Health Service in England. This was estimated to be around £190m.
It is not possible to determine accurately the total annual levy payments made by all NHS trusts. This is because HMRC administrative data does not enable NHS trusts and their associated PAYE schemes to be easily identified.
