I propose to take Questions Nos. 371 to 374, inclusive, together.
At the end of April, there were 286,912 people in receipt of jobseeker's allowance and 92,326 people in receipt of jobseeker's benefit. Details of the numbers of the numbers of people from the teaching and health related professions are set out in the following table. The numbers of teachers or nurses are not separately identified within those totals and consequently, the numbers of teachers or nurses in receipt of jobseeker's allowance or jobseeker's benefit are not available.
Health and Related Occupations | Health Associate Professionals | Health Professionals | Teaching Professionals | |
Jobseeker's Allowance | 2,004 | 1,010 | 1,170 | 3,097 |
Jobseeker's Benefit | 1,209 | 816 | 1,171 | 2,245 |
Total | 3,213 | 1,826 | 2,341 | 5,342 |
