Nursing and Midwifery Council: Appeals

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what estimate has been made of the number of Nursing and Midwifery Council cases in the High Court that resulted in the original decision being overturned in the past (a) 12 and (b) 24 months.

Answered by Sarah Sackman

The information requested is not held centrally as the case management system does not record whether a Nursing and Midwifery Council case resulted in the original decision being overturned.

Determining the number of such cases over the last 12 or 24 months would require a manual review of individual case files and court orders across a substantial number of cases. This information could therefore be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
