<p>NHS Digital publishes workforce statistics and the following table shows the number
of health visitors employed in Greater London and the London Borough of Newham at
30 September 2010 to 2016. Data for May 2017 is also provided as this is the latest
available.</p><p> </p><p>The number of health visitors employed by National Health
Service organisations and reported through the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) shows
a reduction to previous recent years. However this is not a complete picture of the
health visitor workforce who may also be employed by non-NHS organisations including
social enterprises, private sector organisations and increasingly the local authorities
themselves. There is no complete picture of this workforce so it is not possible to
tell if the reductions reported through ESR are real reductions or simply transfer
of employment to non-NHS organisations and the below table should be interpreted with
this in mind.</p><p> </p><p>NHS Hospital and Community Health Services (HCHS): Health
visitors in NHS trusts and clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in Greater London
and the London Borough of Newham as at the last day of each specified month</p><p><strong>
