<p><strong></strong></p><br /><p>Non-medical training numbers are collected as part
of the quarterly multi professional education and training budget monitoring returns
that are submitted to the Department by Health Education England (HEE). Prior to the
establishment of HEE in 2013/14 these were submitted to the Department by the Strategic
Health Authority (SHA) as part of their quarterly Financial Information Management
Systems (FIMS) monitoring returns. The table below shows the number of nurse training
places available in each SHA from 2009/10 to 2012/13.</p><br /><table><tbody><tr><td><p>2009/10</p></td><td><p>2010/11</p></td><td><p>2011/12</p></td><td><p>2012/13</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>NHS
