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.
