The funding reforms unlocked the cap which constrained the number of pre-registration nursing, midwifery and allied health profession training places, meaning that we have moved away from centrally imposed number controls and financial limitations, creating a sustainable model for universities and the healthcare workforce supply.</p><p>In support of the reforms, we announced additional clinical placement funding to make available 5,000 more nurse training places each year.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 18/06/2019 13:05:11 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
