Dentistry: West Midlands
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many full time equivalent NHS dentists were employed in (a) Birmingham Edgbaston constituency, (b) Birmingham and (c) the West Midlands in (i) 2010 and (ii) 2024.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
The following table shows how many full time equivalent (FTE) National Health Service dentists were employed in 2024 within the Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board (ICB), which includes the Birmingham Edgbaston constituency, as well as regional figures for the Midlands:
Year | Number of FTE dentists employed in the Birmingham and Solihull ICB | Number of FTE dentists employed in the Midlands |
2024 | 337 | 2,887 |
Notes:
- we do not hold data on how many NHS dentists are employed at a constituency level or for the West Midlands region; and
- FTE refers to hours worked by one full-time employee during a standard workweek. The employee is contracted to do 37.5 hours per week.
Data is not held for full time equivalent NHS dentists employed in 2010.
