Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether workforce levels in a) urgent treatment centres, b) same-day emergency care and c) NHS 111 are adequate to deliver the objectives of the Urgent and Emergency Care Plan.

Decisions on workforce levels and recruitment are a matter for individual National Health Service employers, who manage resources at a local level to ensure they have the staff they need to deliver safe and effective care.

The Government is committed to publishing a 10 Year Workforce Plan to set out action to create a workforce ready to deliver the transformed service set out in the 10-Year Health Plan. The 10 Year Workforce Plan will ensure the NHS has the right people in the right places, with the right skills to care for patients, when they need it.
