The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of losing level seven levy funding to fund apprenticeships on the NHS.

Answered by Karin Smyth

Skills England and the Department for Education are reviewing the growth and skills offer, including whether employers will fund Level 7 apprenticeships outside of the levy. Ministers and officials from the Department of Health and Social Care, along with NHS England and other stakeholders across the sector, have been feeding into this review and will continue to work closely to ensure that the National Health Service has the right people, in the right places, with the right skills to deliver the care patients need when they need it.
