Nurses: Surrey
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the level of employment opportunities for newly qualified nurses in Surrey.
Answered by Karin Smyth
Decisions on the employment of newly qualified nurses are a matter for individual National Health Service trusts, which manage their recruitment at a local level, ensuring they have the right number of staff in place, with the right skill mix, to deliver safe and effective care.
As set out in the 10-Year Health Plan, we are working closely with NHS England, employers, universities, and regional nursing leads to ensure support is in place to help graduating nurses find a role as soon as possible after qualification and transition into the workplace.
