answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2014 answer text <p>The international recruitment of nurses and midwives is a matter for local employers. They have indicated a higher need for nurses now than they had previously planned, with a particular peak in demand over the next couple of years. Some local trusts are recruiting internationally in an attempt to fill this short term demand.</p><p> </p><p>It is not for the Government but for local hospitals to decide how many staff they employ and they are best placed to do this based on the needs of their patients and local communities.</p><p> </p><p>On 24 June, NHS England published nurse, midwife and care staffing levels on a patient safety website, NHS Choices. Publishing staffing data at a national level was a key commitment following the Mid Staffordshire public inquiry and is a major step forward in the Government's drive to make the National Health Service the safest health care in the world.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 01/07/2014 13:08:32 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, with reference to the Answer to the hon. Member for Batley and Spen, of 4 March 2011, Official Report, column 664W, on health professions, whether the robust evidence-based cost-benefit risk analysis on the regulation of unregulated healthcare professionals has been undertaken by his Department; and whether he plans to publish that analysis and its conclusions.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2014 answer text <p>The Government has set out its position on statutory regulation of healthcare professionals in the publication <em>Enabling Excellence Command Paper - Autonomy and Accountability for Healthcare Workers, Social Workers and Social Care Workers, </em>published February 2011. Statutory regulation will only be considered where there is a solid body of evidence demonstrating that there is a level of risk to the public which warrants the costs imposed by statutory regulation, and which cannot be addressed through assured voluntary registration. No cost-benefit risk analysis of the case for introducing compulsory statutory regulation of the health care scientist workforce is now planned by the Department at this time.</p><p> </p><p>Modernising Scientific Careers has put in place standardised and accredited education and training programmes for the healthcare science work force that enables formalised regulation, whether voluntary or statutory. For those health care scientists not regulated by statute the Academy for Healthcare Science (AHCS) holds a voluntary ‘shadow' register and we understand that the AHCS intend to seek accreditation from the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 01/07/2014 12:33:48 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter attachment 1 file name PQ202036 - Hansard Extract.docx title Hansard Extract
