Question
Will the Minister provide an update by health board on the number of inflammatory bowel disease nurse specialists and vacancies, by pay band, both as the total number and full time equivalent?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services
Inflammatory bowel disease nurse specialists is not a staff group within the Electronic Staff Record, it is a job title which would be grouped under the staff group Nursing and Midwifery. As such, no reliable data are currently available centrally. Individual staffing figures for nurse specialists are held by the individual health boards, which are responsible for the services.
