The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many registered chiropractors there are in the UK.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The General Chiropractors Council (GCC) is responsible for collecting data on the numbers of chiropractors in the United Kingdom. They publish an annual report which provides the number of chiropractors in the UK, which is available at the following link:
