Mrs. Bridget Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to encourage midwives to stay in the profession and to encourage non-practising midwives to return to work. [28261]

Mr. Horam

A higher proportion of the total stock of nursing and midwifery staff are working, and using their professional skill for the benefit of patients, than ever before. Local employers are responsible for developing and implementing effective human resource strategies further to improve recruitment and retention.
