PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Epilepsy: Nurses (1 March 2016)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many specialist epilepsy nurses are employed in the NHS.

Asked by:
Jonathan Reynolds (Labour)

Answer

The Health and Social Care Information Centre provides information on the number of nursing, midwifery and health visiting staff employed in the National Health Service in England but it does not separately identify specialist epilepsy nurses.

It is for local NHS organisations with their knowledge of the healthcare needs of their local population to invest in training for specialist skills and to deploy specialist nurses.
