It should be noted that this data is based on self-declared information on organisation headcounts and apprentice recruitment submitted by public sector bodies.</p><p>The department also publishes data on apprenticeship starts in the health, public services and care sector subject area. This includes the number of starts on the ‘Registered Nurse’ degree apprenticeship and ‘Nursing Associate’ apprenticeship standards.</p><p>Monthly breakdowns for individual standards and frameworks, as well as for sector subject areas, have been published from 2014/15 onwards and can be accessed at the link below: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/apprenticeship-and-levy-statistics-february-2019" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/apprenticeship-and-levy-statistics-february-2019</a>.</p><p>The Department for Education and the Department of Health and Social Care are working closely with employers and Health Education England to make sure that the NHS is fully supported to recruit the apprentices they need to deliver high quality care.</p><p> </p>

Over 400 standards are available for employers to use, with over 170 more in development, and we can see that employers are moving quickly to this new higher quality offer. There were 163,700 starts on apprenticeship standards in 2017/18, which is more than 6 times higher than the number of starts in 2016/17.</p><p>From April 2019, the amount that levy-paying employers can transfer to other employers will increase from 10% to 25%. The National Apprenticeship Service is working closely with the West Midlands Combined Authority to promote levy transfers from large employers, including HSBC and Lloyds, to local small and medium-sized enterprises in the automotive, digital and construction sectors.</p><p> </p>
