However, with the costs largely being borne by the NHS, universities have generally been unable to increase nursing, midwifery and allied health professional degree places because of financial constraints. The information used to estimate the level of unmet demand was provided by UCAS and published in the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Report ‘Frontline First’ in April 2015:</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://royalnursing.3cdn.net/9808b89b8bfd137533_krm6b9wz7.pdf" target="_blank">http://royalnursing.3cdn.net/9808b89b8bfd137533_krm6b9wz7.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p>Universities are autonomous private institutions. It will be for universities to work as part of their local health economy with placement providers to secure extra placements for additional students. The generation of extra places is a mutually beneficial arrangement between the health sector, universities and their students. Education and training standards will continue to be set United Kingdom-wide by the statutory Nursing and Midwifery Council and Health Care Professionals Council. The Government is currently consulting on the future structure of clinical placement funding. That consultation closes on 30 June. As now, ensuring that all students have access to high quality placements and receive an outstanding placement experience will be a key priority.</p> answering member constituency Ipswich answering member printed Ben Gummer grouped question UIN 40736 40829 40830 40831 40833 question first answered 27/06/2016 14:27:42 answering member 3988 label Biography information for Ben Gummer
