Ministry of Justice written question – answered at on 22 July 2026.
Tan Dhesi
Chair, Defence Committee
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.
Sarah Sackman
The Minister of State, Ministry of Justice
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.
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
