Health written question – answered at on 21 January 2004.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what proportion of student nurses who enrolled for courses in (a) general nursing, (b) paediatric nursing, (c) midwifery and (d) psychiatric nursing successfully completed their course in each year since 1973.
Information for England on the percentage of pre-registration student nurses who have completed their course is shown in the following table. Data is not held before the 1994–95 financial year and has not been collected since October 2001. It is therefore only accurate for cohorts up to 1997–98, most students on subsequent cohorts had not completed courses by October 2001.
Year ofcohort | Midwifery | Adult | Mental health | Learning disability | Child |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1994–95 | 75.27 | 78.18 | 76.51 | 70.73 | 77.43 |
1995–96 | 78.13 | 76.67 | 74.14 | 72.67 | 74.31 |
1996–97 | 73.48 | 75.32 | 73.05 | 67.59 | 74.29 |
1997–98 | 74.33 | 72.27 | 70.31 | 65.28 | 70.42 |
Note
This data is based on a snapshot in time of a particular cohort(s) and therefore each year there will still be students who have yet to complete their course.
