Baroness Walmsley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many speech and language therapists have been employed in England in each of the past five years, broken down by local education authority.[HL7223]

The Minister of State, Department of Health
(Lord Warner)

This information is not collected centrally. The annual National Health Service workforce census records the number of speech and language therapists by primary care trust and NHS trust. A table showing the number of speech and language therapists by PCT and trust in each of the past five years has been placed in the Library.
