sector organisations in scope to meet the public sector apprentice target provide
data annually to the Department for Education on numbers of apprentice starts. Data
provided by the Department for Education show the National Health Service organisations
in scope had 13,800 apprentice starts in 2017/18.</p><p>Published statistics which
cover public sector apprenticeships in England in the first year of the target, 1
April 2017 to 31 March 2018 are available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/public-sector-apprenticeships-in-england-2017-to-2018"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/public-sector-apprenticeships-in-england-2017-to-2018</a></p><p>Data
is not available on 2018/19 starts until later this year.</p><p>Any NHS organisations
not in scope for the apprenticeship target will not be included in the return, though
they may have apprentices training within their organisation.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
