answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2015 answer text <p>The National Health Service annual workforce census published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre provides information on the number of nursing, midwifery and health visiting staff employed in the NHS in England but it does not separately identify diabetes specialist nurses. However, there are now over 6,300 more nurses, midwives and health visitors working in the NHS in England compared to May 2010.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>It is for local NHS organisations with their knowledge of the healthcare needs of their local population to invest in training for specialist skills and to deploy specialist nurses. Specialist nurses provide invaluable support for patients and their families. They are able to provide specialist treatment and advice and act as a gateway to other members of the multidisciplinary team, which can both save the NHS money and, more importantly, improve care and outcomes for patients.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 05/02/2015 11:10:31 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2015 answer text <p>Information in respect of National Health Service spending on the lease of photocopier machines is not separately collected by the Department and as such we are unable to provide this data. However, within the context of administrative costs it should be noted that we are on target to reduce the costs of bureaucracy in the NHS by a third since 2010, with savings of £1.5 billion available for re-investment in front line services every year from 2014. In this Parliament alone, at least £6.4 billion will be saved through lower administrative costs and will be available for re-investment in front line patient services.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 05/02/2015 10:48:49 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter
