Mr. Clelland

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what are the numbers of trainees currently engaged in YTS placements in(a) the Civil Service and (b) the National Health Service.

Mr. Cope

Estimates made by the Manpower Services Commission and the Office of the Minister for the Civil Service show that there are currently more than 2,400 YTS trainees in Civil Service placements. This figure includes both industrial and non-industrial YTS places.

The recent report by Price Waterhouse on YTS in the National Health Service identified 32 existing YTS schemes with over 700 young people training in client care.
