Midwives: Greater London

Volume 469: debated on Tuesday 11 December 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many midwives worked in each London primary care trust on the 1 July in each of the last 10 years. (169376)

The information requested is shown in the following table.

However, midwives are employed primarily by acute trusts, so the figures shown are for all organisations which employ midwives in the London Strategic Health Authority area. The non-medical workforce census, which the figures are taken from, is collected as at 30 September.

National health service hospital and community health services: Qualified midwifery staff in the London Strategic Health Authority area by organisation as at 30 September each specified year

1 More accurate validation processes in 2006 have resulted in the identification and removal of 9,858 duplicate non-medical staff records out of the total workforce figure of 1.3 million in 2006. Earlier years’ figures could not be accurately validated in this way and so will be slightly inflated. The level of inflation in earlier years’ figures is estimated to be less than 1 per cent., of total across all non-medical staff groups for headcount figures (and negligible for full-time equivalents). This should be taken into consideration when analysing trends over time.

Note:

Data are presented for NHS organisations in existence for each year.
