Dieticians: Greater London

Volume 473: debated on Wednesday 12 March 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many nutritionists were employed by the NHS in (a) Bexley Primary Care Trust and (b) the London region in each of the last five years. (191958)

Information on number of nutritionists is not held centrally.

The only available information is for dietetics staff, held by national health service trusts. Information is therefore provided in the following table for those organisations within the London Strategic Health Authority (SHA) area, which employ dietetics staff. Bexley Primary Care Trust (PCT) does not employ any dietetics staff.

NHS hospital and community health services: Qualified dietetics staff in specified organisation within the London SHA area as at 30 September each specified year

n/a = .. Not Applicable. Where PCT did not exist or no longer exists. Note: 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 one 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.
