Response
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide the level of detail requested for questions 1, 4, and 5. This information is not recorded in a reportable format, and therefore Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies.
We are, however, able to provide information in response to questions 2 and 3. Where numbers are small, disclosure control has been applied to protect the privacy of individuals. Figures fewer than five are represented as “<5", in accordance with Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011.
The table below shows, by month, the number of nurses and midwives joining and leaving Health and Care Jersey from January 2020 to November 2025.
