answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>From 1 August 2017, new pre-registration nursing, midwifery and allied health students will no longer receive National Health Service bursaries. Instead, they will have access to the same student loans system as other students.</p><p> </p><p>Students studying for pre-registration level nursing, midwifery and the allied health subjects as a second degree will also be able to access the student loans system.</p><p> </p><p>Under the loans system, students on pre-registration nursing, midwifery and allied health courses will receive around a 25% increase in the financial support available to them for living costs whilst at university. The precise change for individuals will be dependent on their circumstances – for example, where they study, the length of the course, income and residency.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has already committed to additional funding to help support new pre-registration healthcare students. These include child dependents allowance, placement travel and accommodation expenses and hardship funding for exceptional cases. This funding will be non-repayable and is in addition to the standard student support package.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne grouped question UIN 4105 question first answered 18/07/2017 14:38:54 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
