Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many staff employed in the National Health Service are not British citizens.
NHS Digital publishes Hospital and Community Health Services workforce statistics. These include staff working in hospital trusts and clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), but not staff working in primary care or in general practitioner surgeries, local authorities or other providers.
As at December 2019, the latest available data, there were 166,857 non-United Kingdom nationals (excluding unknowns) employed in National Health Service trusts and CCGs.
