NHS Learning Support Fund
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of increasing the NHS Learning Support Fund.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The Government keeps the funding arrangements for all healthcare students under close review. At all times the Government must strike a balance between the level of support students receive, and the need to make best use of public funds to deliver value for money. There are no immediate plans to make changes to the levels of funding provided by the scheme.
