  2.  Between 2001 and 2004 the number of practice nurses employed by GP practices increased by 2,298 (11.6%) headcount and 2,400 (21.5%) whole-time equivalent.

  1.1.3  Could the Department provide information on the expenditure on agency nurses for each NHS trust, and totals for the NHS in England?

  ANSWER

  1.  Information is collected from all NHS trusts on expenditure on non-NHS staff salaries and wages, including those of nursing staff. The latest year for which this data is available is 2003-04. For England as a whole the total expenditure under the heading of nursing, midwifery and health visiting was about £525 million. Of this £443 million was spent by NHS trusts, £82 million by primary care trusts and £4,000 by strategic health authorities. The year-on-year trend in rising expenditure of non-NHS nursing staff salaries has started to decline, for example the 2003-04 spend showed an 11% decrease over the previous year. This reduction reflects the increase in NHS nurses and the impact of targeted action by the NHS Purchasing and Supply Agency, Agency Framework Agreements (AFA's) and the NHS Professionals (SpHA).

  2.  Detailed information is given in Table 1.1.3(a) to 1.1.3(c).

  1.1.4  How many GPs and consultants respectively have been employed by the NHS, and how many have left the NHS in each year since 1997? Could these figures be provided for both headcount and Whole Time Equivalent? [1.1.4]

  ANSWER

  1.  The number of GPs employed by the NHS, and the number who left the NHS in each year since 1997 is shown in Table 1.1.4(a). The Department does not collect comparable data about consultants. The number of medical and dental consultants employed by the NHS in each year since 1997 is shown in Table 1.1.4(b).

  2.  Figures have been provided for both headcount and full time equivalent.
