Students Early Statistics Survey 2018/19</p><p>Healthcare education, training and
recruitment in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland is a matter for the devolved governments
in each nation, and the Department does not hold information on this.</p><p>The Department
does not hold information on the numbers of training places for undergraduate learning
disability nursing that are expected to be available at universities in future years.</p><p>Universities
are autonomous private institutions and are responsible for setting the number of
training places they offer. It is for universities to work as part of their local
health economy to secure training places.</p><p>In August 2017, the Government changed
the funding system for pre-registration undergraduate nurse training. 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>
