Will the Minister provide an update on the delivery of a timeline for the NHS student bursary review that was due to be published in April 2023?

Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services | Answered on 26/07/2023

In response to feedback from the Bursary Oversight Board, we have recently completed a number of Stakeholder Engagement Events, the findings, and themes of which will feed into the formal Bursary Consultation. As a result of this additional engagement undertaken and analysis, a realistic deadline for setting out the timeline for the Consultation will be September 2023. The Strategic Workforce Implementation Board have been informed of this amended deadline.
