I'm very pleased to let you know that the Department of Health has today confirmed to Skill that they will be raising the rates for the Non-Medical Helpers Allowance for students applying through the NHS Bursary Scheme, in line with the new rates announced by DIUS. The DSA NMH rate will increase from £12,000 to £20,000 from 2008/09 entry. Good news at last
