<p>The Government has committed to ensure 50,000 more nurses in the National Health
Service in England by 2025. No individual target has been set for specific areas of
the country.</p><p>We have already taken steps to deliver this commitment through
our new financial support package. Eligible pre-registration nursing, midwifery and
many allied health students enrolled on courses at English universities from September
2020 will receive a payment of at least £5,000 per academic year which they will not
need to pay back.</p><p>Additional payments of up to £3,000<sup>1</sup> will be available
for some students in regions or specialisms struggling to recruit and to help students
cover childcare costs. Up to a further £1,000 may be available for some students studying
in certain regions or geographical areas in England. The Department is undertaking
further work to develop this incentive payment.</p><p>This new grant will mean students
have access to more money than under both previous systems and will encourage more
people to apply, accept places and complete their courses.</p><p>Note:</p><p><sup>1</sup>
