Department of Health and Social Care written question – answered at on 21 March 2018.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the average number of hours spent on administrative tasks each week by (a) nurses and (b) GPs in the latest period for which figures are available.
No such estimate has been made.
NHS Digital collects data on the Hospital and Community Health Service workforce, including nurses working in secondary care organisations and the General and Personal Medical Services workforce, including general practitioners and nurses working in general practices.
However, these data do not enable NHS Digital to assess how much time is spent on any particular task by a member of the National Health Service workforce.
